Friction and Wear of Various DLC Films in Water and Air Environments

Three types of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films, pure DLC, F-containing DLC, and a Si-containing DLC film, were deposited on a WC–Co substrate by a plasma-enhanced CVD technique. Friction and wear properties were determined using a ball-on-plate type reciprocating friction tester in water, comparing the water results to those in ambient air. The friction coefficient of DLC and F–DLC films in water was considerably lower than that in air. With Si–DLC, the friction was almost the same level in both water and air, and was less than 0.1. The specific wear rate of films in water was much smaller than that in air and varied around the low level of 10^–8 mm³/Nm in water, The mating ball wear was also less than 10^–8 mm³/Nm. With DLC and F–DLC films, the transferred amount of material on the friction surface of a mating ball was larger in a water environment than that in air. With a Si–DLC film, the difference in the transferred amount when exposed to either the water or air environment was negligible.

The effects of contact configuration and coating morphology on the tribological behaviour of tetrahedral amorphous diamond-like carbon (ta-C DLC) coatings under boundary lubrication

ABSTRACT

Tribological studies were carried out with tetrahedral amorphous diamond-like carbon (ta-C DLC) coatings, varying in thickness and roughness, using two different contact configurations lubricated with seven types of hydraulic oils. Tribopair of cast iron and ta-C coated steel were tested in both non-conformal and conformal, unidirectional sliding contacts. The friction and wear results were mainly affected by the thickness of the coating in the non-conformal contact and the surface roughness of the coating in the conformal contact. Tests done with mineral base oil containing rust inhibitor in the non-conformal contact and with Polyalphaolefins and synthetic ester base oils in the conformal contact resulted in the lowest friction while that with mineral base oil containing zinc resulted in high friction and counterface wear. The results highlight the interdependence of contact configuration, lubricant chemistry, coating’s surface morphology and coating’s thickness in determining the tribological behaviour of ta-C coatings under boundary lubrication.

Tribochemical effects on the friction and wear behaviors of diamond-like carbon film under high relative humidity condition

Friction and wear behaviors of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film in humid N₂ (RH-100%) sliding against different counterpart ball (Si₃N₄ ball, Al₂O₃ ball and steel ball) were investigated. It was found that the friction and wear behaviors of DLC film were dependent on the friction-induced tribochemical interactions in the presence of the DLC film, water molecules and counterpart balls. When sliding against Si₃N₄ ball, a tribochemical film that mainly consisted of silica gel was formed on the worn surface due to the oxidation and hydrolysis of the Si₃N₄ ball, and resulted in the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate of the DLC film. The degradation of the DLC film catalyzed by Al₂O₃ ball caused the highest wear rate of DLC film when sliding against Al₂O₃ ball, while the tribochemical reactions between DLC film and steel ball led to the highest friction coefficient when sliding against steel ball.     

Friction behavior of magnetorheological fluids with different material types and magnetic field strength

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid is a type of a smart material that can control its mechanical properties under a magnetic field. Iron particles in MR fluid form chain structures in the direction of an applied magnetic field, which is known as MR effect, resulting in variation of stiffness, shear modulus, damping and tribological characteristics of MR fluid. As MR effect depends on the density of particles in the fluid or the strength of a magnetic field, the experiments are conducted to evaluate the friction property under reciprocating motion by changing the types of MR fluid and the strength of a magnetic field. The material of aluminum, brass, and steel are chosen for specimen as they are the most common material in mechanical applications. The surfaces of specimen are also observed by optical microscope before and after experiments to compare the surfaces with test conditions. The comparing results show that the friction coefficient increases as the strength of a magnetic field increases in regardless of types of MR fluid or the material. Also the density of particle in MR fluid affects the friction characteristic. The results from this research can be used to improve the performance of mechanical applications using MR fluid.     

Study of tribological performance of ECR-CVD diamond-like carbon coatings on steel substrates: Part 1. The effect of processing parameters and operating conditions

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings were prepared on AISI 440C steel substrates at room temperature by electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECR-CVD) process in C₂H₂/Ar plasma. Using the designed Ti/TiN/TiCN/TiC interfacial transition layers, relatively thick DLC coatings (1-2 μm) were successfully prepared on the steel substrates. The friction and wear performance of the DLC coatings was evaluated by ball-on-disk tribometry using a steel counterbody at various normal loads (1-10 N) and sliding speeds (2-15 cm/s). By optimizing the deposition parameters such as negative bias voltage, DLC coatings with hardness up to 30 GPa and friction coefficients lower than 0.15 against the 100Cr6 steel ball could be obtained. The friction coefficient was maintained for 100,000 cycles (∼2.2 km) of dry sliding in ambient environments. In addition, the specific wear rates of the coatings were found to be extremely low (∼10⁻⁸ mm³/Nm); at the same time, the ball wear rates were one order of magnitude lower. The influences of the processing parameters and the sliding conditions were determined, and the frictional behavior of the coatings was discussed. It has been found that higher normal loads or sliding speeds reduced the wear rates of the coatings. Therefore, it is feasible to prepare hard and highly adherent DLC coatings with low friction coefficient and low wear rate on engineering steel substrates by the ECR-CVD process. The excellent tribological performance of DLC coatings enables their industrial applications as wear-resistant solid lubricants on sliding parts.
