A multilayered PEO/Ag/MoS2 lubricating coating is deposited on Ti6Al4V alloy.
Ag interlayer benefits to improving wear resistance of PEO coatings at 350–600 °C.
PEO/Ag/MoS2 coating exhibits low friction over a wide temperature range (RT-600 °C).
Ag2MoO4 glaze layer formed on Si3N4 ball provides lubrication at high temperature.
