Abstract

Tribological tests of nanosized carbon coatings produced by the pulsed vacuum-arc method on the surface of NiTi premodified by ions of nitrogen and titanium are conducted. The surface modification and formation of a carbon coating 180 nm thick on the surface of a softer material, titanium nickelide, is shown to considerably increase wear resistance and reduce the coefficient of friction.
