| Abstract: | The features surface morphology are considered for plasma-sprayed coatings used with various counterbodies under conditions
of boundary friction. The tribotechnical characteristics of the coatings are examined in relation to the structure. There
is found to be a substantial effect from the porosity on the formation of the secondary structures, the changes in topography,
and the changes in elemental composition of the friction surface.
