that has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is impervious to acids. The result is greatly reduced friction and the virtual elimination of metallic erosion and hydrogen...

probably not. Consider the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's summary statement on the subject: "The study of friction, lubrication and wear has long been of both technical... and practical interest, since the functioning of many mechanical systems depends on friction and wear values. This field, recently dubbed 'tribology,' has received increasing... attention as it has become evident that the waste of resources resulting from high friction and wear is very great (more than 6% of the Gross National Product), and that the potential...
