Tribological behavior nitride

The research work on carbon nitride materials was first motivated due to its hypothetical super-hardness. The tribological properties of the CNx films are, of course, the emphasis of the succeeding research works. Although the expected structure and hardness have not been achieved up to the present, the potential interesting properties still stimulate many approaches on the tribological behavior of CNx films. Figure 8 gives the results of hardness measurement reported by the...

Xie et al. [49] investigated the tribological behaviors of different ILs as lubricants for tribo-pairs (low-temperature silicon oxide film/SijN ball, polysilicon Si film/ SijN ball, and silicon nitride (SijN ) film/SijN ball) by varying the applied load and the sliding velocity. The ILs lubricants showed the best lubricating properties for the three tribo-pairs at the intermediate load of 150 g.
