Under 25N load, ML (Ni) coatings maintain a low friction performance (μ between 0.10-0.17) when observed up to 10,000 revs. These findings are consistent with those observed for ML (Ni) sliding at 5N load. Low friction (μ < 0.2) was observed in all tests that ran up to 10,000 revs, supporting the statement that ML (Ni) coating performances are consistent and
