Fretting wear and fracture behaviors of Cr-doped and non-doped DLC films deposited on Ti–6al–4V alloy by unbalanced magnetron sputtering

Cr-doped and non-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on a Ti–6Al–4V alloy substrate using an unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBMS). Fretting wear behavior of the specimens was investigated using a ball-on-disk fretting tester. The fracture phenomenon of the DLC films was determined as the number of fretting cycles to reach a high value of the friction coefficient. The results showed that the Cr-doped and non-doped DLC films exhibited a lower friction coefficient and wear rate compared to that of the uncoated specimen. However, the Cr-doped DLC film fractured only in a few cycles, while the non-doped DLC film fractured after fretting cycles of about 200,000. A fracture mechanism of the Cr-doped and non-doped DLC films was reported in this study.

Adhesion Properties of Nanometer-Thick Perfluoropolyether Films Confined Between Solid Surfaces: A Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Study

Lubrication with thin liquid films is essential to ensure the tribological reliability of technologically advanced devices, such as micro-electro-mechanical systems and hard disk drives. However, the adhesion and friction properties of thin films and the underlying mechanism remain elusive due to our limited understanding of film structures and motions at the molecular scale. Here, we investigate the adhesion behavior of nanometer-thick perfluoropolyether (PFPE) films confined between two solid surfaces as a function of film thickness using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Consistent with typical experimental results, our simulations show that the adhesive force exerted by the PFPE films reaches a maximum and then decreases with increasing solid–solid spacing. The maximum adhesive force increases sharply for PFPE films thinner than 4 nm. When exhibiting the maximum adhesive force, PFPE films are slightly stretched within a solid–solid spacing a little larger than the initial film thickness and thereby show lower density than the original equilibrium density. Conventional theories of adhesion, which assume equilibrium density for liquid films, are not applicable in such case. Therefore, we construct a theoretical model that takes decreasing liquid density into account to discuss the underlying mechanism of the adhesive force exerted by nanometer-thick PFPE films on solid surfaces. We infer from the theoretical analyses that the maximum adhesive force originates mainly from solid–liquid interaction for thin films and liquid–liquid interaction for thick films.

Adhesion and Friction Studies of Nano-textured Surfaces Produced by Self-Assembling Au Nanoparticles on Silicon Wafers

This article presents the results of nanoscale friction and adhesion of nanoparticle-textured surfaces (NPTS) using atomic force microscope (AFM). The effects of coverage ratio, texture height, and packing density on the adhesion and friction of the NPTS were investigated. The nano-textured surfaces were produced by self-assembling Au nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of 20 nm and 50 nm on the silicon (100) surfaces, respectively. Surface morphology of the NPTS was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and AFM. The results show that the NPTS significantly reduced the adhesive force compared to the smooth surface. The adhesion of NPTS is mainly dependent on the coverage ratio of NPs rather than the texture height and higher coverage ratio resulted in smaller adhesive force. The reduced adhesion of textured surfaces was attributed to the reduced real area of contact. The friction of NPTS is mainly dependent on the spacing between asperities. The lowered frictional force was obtained when the spacing between asperities is less than the size of AFM tip, because of the effectively reduced real area of contact between the AFM tip and the NPTS surface.

Effect of Water Adsorption on Microtribological Properties of Hydrogenated Diamond-Like Carbon Films

Microtribological properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films in the presence of water molecule have been studied. The amount of water adsorbed on DLC films was measured by the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), while microtribological properties of the film were evaluated by an environment-controlled microtribometer. The hydrogenated-DLC showed an advancing water contact angle of 97°, indicating a relatively hydrophobic surface. No hysteresis in adsorption and desorption isotherms were observed. This suggests an absence of micropores at the DLC surface. The greatest adhesion and friction forces between a W-tip and DLC films deposited onto QCM were observed at a water coverage of 2-3 monolayers, which corresponds to a relative humidity of 70-80%. This abrupt increase in adhesion was explained by the generation of a meniscus from the condensed water between tip and DLC surface. The atomically flat DLC surface showed maximum adhesion and friction forces at lower humidity than those of DLC on OCM, implying the importance of surface texturing, which reduces the effect of water condensation.
