description Exploring ways to improve the performance of rotating bands is of great importance for enhancing the power of modern artillery. This study prepared graphene oxide-coated Nylon (GO-Nylon) and Nylon samples based on nylon rotating bands in artillery systems to investigate the feasibility of introducing GO-coated nylon rotating band materials to enhance their tribological and thermal properties. The friction behavior and thermal effects of these two surfaces were analyzed under different external loads and surface roughness conditions. The results show that the excellent thermal conductivity of GO effectively reduced temperature accumulation during friction. Under an external load of 8 N, the surface temperature of GO-Nylon decreased by 14% compared to the Nylon surface, and the coefficient of friction (COF) decreased by 21%. At the same time, a simulation model was established, and its calculation results were consistent with the experimental trends, providing a further explanation of the experimental phenomena. This research provides a basis for the application of graphene-based coatings in the defense industry and presents new ideas for the development of high-performance rotating band materials.
