Abstract:In recent years, the range of applications of DLC coatings has been expanding, and finding the optimal additives for DLC coatings is an urgent issue. In this study, friction tests were conducted on ta-C/ta-C tribopair using a phosphonate additive with hydroxy groups, which is a combination of GMO (an additive that reduces friction of DLC) and ZDDP (an additive that reduces wear), and tribolayers after friction tests were analyzed using AFM, XPS and ToF-SIMS. The results showed that the phosphonate additive wit… Show more
