Abstract

A simple two-step process was developed to render steel with lower friction and longer durability. The textured steel substrate was first fabricated by immersed in a piranha solution at room temperature for 10 min. Stearic acid film was then deposited to acquire high hydrophobicity. Scanning electron microscopy and water contact-angle measurements were used to analyze the morphological features and hydrophobicity of prepared samples, respectively. Moreover, the friction-reducing behavior of the organic–inorganic composite film sliding against a steel ball was evaluated in a ball-on-plate configuration. It was found that the stearic acid film on the textured steel led to decreased friction with significantly extended life.
