Effects of Hydrogen on Frictional Properties of DLC Films

The tribological behavior of diamond-like carbon films (DLC) is strongly dependent on the hydrogen content, sp2/sp3 ratio, and sliding environment. Some hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a-C:H) exhibit superlow friction in hydrogen conditions. However, previous works have not clarified the domina...

Effects of Hydrogen on Frictional Properties of DLC Films
description The tribological behavior of diamond-like carbon films (DLC) is strongly dependent on the hydrogen content, sp2/sp3 ratio, and sliding environment. Some hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a-C:H) exhibit superlow friction in hydrogen conditions. However, previous works have not clarified the dominant factors of the superlow friction phenomena of DLC films. In this research, we focused on the effects of hydrogen derived from the surrounding atmosphere and the hydrogen within the DLC films on superlow friction phenomena. To investigate these effects, friction tests were conducted on three DLC films having different hydrogen contents (0, and 18, 30 at%) in the air and in low-pressure-hydrogen conditions at various hydrogen pressures. After the friction tests, the wear tracks were examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, elastic recoil detection (ERDA) analysis, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The hydrogen derived from the surrounding atmosphere and the formation of the hydrogen-rich tribofilm were key factors for the superlow friction phenomena.
