Composite Nickel-Teflon coatings developed for high lubricity and available from a number of electroless nickel chemistry vendors may work well in your application.

Good luck,

Dear Mr. Meleard:

There are excellent friction reducers that are bonded onto various metals. It is a finely dispersed Teflon emulsion that coats the metal from an aqueous solution (no organic solvents). A hot air dry is all that is needed for final bonding.
