Abstract

The effect of the nanostructure and chemical composition of thin Mo–Se–C films on the run-in of the diamond-like carbon coating (a-C) and the steel counterbody during ball-on-disk sliding test is studied. At the final stage of the deposition of the a-C coating on the steel substrate, a flow of atoms from the MoSe2 target was added to the flow of atoms being deposited. The influence of the air humidity on the selection of optimum structure and chemical composition of the film, which provide a fairly low (<0.07) coefficient of friction during the entire period of the run-in stage, is considered. In order to explain the effect of the modifying films, analysis of the specific features of the friction-induced changes in the composition of the films during wear debris formation has been carried out using Raman spectroscopy.
