Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effects of reciprocating frequency, large normal load on friction and wear behavior of hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (H-DLC) coating against Ti-6Al-4V ball under dry and lubricated conditions. Design/methodology/approach The friction and wear mechanisms are analyzed by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Findings The results show that as reciprocating frequency increases under lubricated conditions, the friction coefficient decreases first and then increases. When the reciprocating frequency is 2.54 Hz, the value of friction coefficient reaches the minimum. The friction reduction is because of the transformation from sp3 to sp2, the formation of transfer layer on Ti-6Al-4V ball and the reduction in viscous friction, whereas the increase of friction coefficient is related to wear. In dry conditions, the friction coefficient is between 0.06 and 0.1. And, the service life of H-DLC coating decreases with the increase in reciprocating frequency and normal load. Research limitations/implications It is confirmed that adding the lubricant could prolong the service life of H-DLC coating and reduce friction and wear efficiently. And, the wear mechanisms under dry and lubricated conditions encompass abrasive wear and adhesive wear. Originality/value The results are helpful for application of diamond-like carbon coating.

AbstractContinuous microscratch tests on an uncoated and a diamond-like carbon coated CoCrMo alloy were performed in air to evaluate the micro-friction and micro-tribology by utilizing a load and depth sensing instrument. By using a diamond-like carbon coating, the friction coefficient for a small applied load was found to decrease compared to the CoCrMo substrate. The hard diamond-like carbon coating prevents the local plastic yielding of the micro-contacts and the adhesion between the metal/metal surfaces during the microscratch tests. However, the effect of the diamond-like carbon coating on the friction was not seen when the applied load is high.

The effects of film thickness on the tribological behavior have been investigated for hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon coating in this paper. The film was deposited on cemented carbide substrate (YG10C) by applying a high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) technique. The reciprocating ball on the disc test was conducted on the film with different thicknesses from 0.66~1.26 μm against the ZrO2 ball. The friction coefficient and wear resistance of the coating with different thickness showed a unimodal change. Numerous defects were observed on the surface of the film with a thickness of 0.66 μm and the wear mechanism was mainly plow-grinding. Therefore, the steady-state friction coefficient reached the maximum value of 0.22. The coating with a thickness of 1.01 μm had a higher sp3 content and a smoother, dense surface. A graphite transfer layer with low shear strength was detected on the ZrO2 ball against the film with a thickness of 1.01 μm, which led to the reduction in friction, thus the steady-state friction coefficient reached the minimum value of 0.10. However, the internal stress of the film increased with increasing thickness due to the distortion of the bond angle of internal structure when the film was bombarded by high-energy particles. The peeling coating was observed under reciprocating sliding, which both played the role of plowing and boundary lubrication film. The steady-state friction coefficient was 0.14 with a coating thickness of 1.26 μm. As a result, the hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon coating with optimized thickness shows a smooth and compact surface, low internal stress, high sp3 content, and better tribological properties.

Diamond-like carbon films (DLC) were deposited on single crystalline silicon surface under different RF negative bias in microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma source. The chemical structure and morphology were characterized by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The friction coefficient of films was measured to examine the film property later. The results show that the smooth and compact deposited films were typical hydrogenated diamond-like carbon with CHn stretching vibration in 2800-3000cm-1. It is noticed that with the increase of RF bias on the substrate the peak intensity for C-H stretching vibration in spectrum between 2800cm-1~3000cm-1 increased at the beginning and then decreased, which caused the friction coefficient of the film being smaller and then larger in reverse. In 50W RF biased power one can obtain the maximum-CHn peak intensity and the minimum friction coefficient.
