The running-in of amorphous hydrocarbon tribocoatings: a comparison between experiment and molecular dynamics simulations

Abstract: Amorphous hydrocarbon (a-C : H) films have enormous potential as low friction, wear resistant coatings. Here, we present a plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition process for a-C : H that exhibits growth rates of 100 nm min -1 and higher. The tribological performance of the resulting a-C : H films has been studied experimentally by reciprocating sliding of an a-C : H-coated Si 3 N 4 ball on an a-C : Hcoated 100Cr6 steel substrate and by subsequent micro Raman spectroscopy of the wear track. Running-in of th… Show more

“…4), these are slid at 20 m s -1 . Note, that this reduced sliding velocity brings our simulations closer to experimental conditions than previous works [15,16], since 20 m s -1 represents a characteristic velocity of a piston in a race car engine. Two load regimes are investigated in our dry sliding simulations: 1 (see Sect.…”
