There appears to be an intermittent transfer film buildup on the pin from the worn coated disc, leading to spikes on the wear track. Overall, the Triboglide coating shows excellent wear and friction properties compared to the commercially available PS 304 coating. ~iTSSe Fig. 6 — High temperature pin-on-disc testing of NASA PS 304 coating.
