Abstract

Due to strongly tribological atmosphere sensitivity of carbon-based coatings, it is of extreme significance to investigate their friction and wear behaviors in different atmospheres. In this letter, duplex nc-TiC/a-C(Al) nanocomposite carbon-based coating coupled with high hardness, low internal stress and high adhesion strength was successfully fabricated using magnetron sputtering process. The friction and wear behaviors of as-fabricated coating were evaluated in dry N2, humid N2, air, dry O2, and humid O2 atmospheres, respectively. Results show that the as-fabricated coating possesses very high friction and wear due to the strong covalent bond interactions at the sliding interface caused by the free σ-bonds on the coating surface in dry N2 atmosphere. Whereas the free σ-bonds can be efficiently terminated and passivated by water and/or oxygen molecules to weaken the strong covalent bond interactions to result in low friction and wear of coating in humid N2, air, dry O2, and humid O2 atmospheres. The compact and homogeneous carbonaceous tribo-layer on the counterpart is mainly responsible for the lowest friction and wear of coating in humid N2 atmosphere. Whereas the tribo-layer can be restrained to a certain extent by the tribo-chemical reaction, especially it results in a nearly negligible carbonaceous tribo-layer on the counterpart in dry O2 atmosphere, which is mainly responsible for largely increased friction and wear of coating.
