Abstract:The wear acceleration of hydrogenated amorphous carbon under lubrication with molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) is one of the problems to apply it to engine components. It is assumed that using high hardness tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) can easily solve the wear problem regardless of chemical wear by Mo degradable materials, however, we still do not know the effect of ta-C coating hardness on wear of itself with MoDTC. Because, amount and structure of Mo degradable material is assumed to relate contact… Show more
