The aim of our study is to evaluate the tribo-corrosion properties of conversion coatings on Vanadis 6 type of steel. Vanadis 6 cold work steel is a high-carbon, high alloyed steel known for its favourable mechanical properties even in very harsh operating conditions, including high loads, contact stresses, contact temperatures and severe wear [1]. Mechanical properties were recently reported...
