Effect of doping elements on the tribological behavior and mechanism of diamond-like carbon film under oleic acid lubrication
Oleic acid is recognized as an excellent lubricant for diamond-like carbon (DLC) films, owing to its unique interaction with DLC surface. This study investigated the influence of doping elements on the tribological behavior and mechanism of DLC films when lubricated with oleic acid. Boron-, silicon-, chromium-, and tungsten-doped DLC films were deposited by sputtering method and characterized by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and nanoindentation. The friction and wear tests were performed at varying temperatures. Friction coefficients of the B-DLC film decreased with increasing temperature, while the Si-DLC and Cr-DLC films showed increasing friction, and the W-DLC film exhibited minimal temperature dependence. Si and W doping improved the wear resistance of DLC films at evaluated temperatures. Surface analysis revealed that the tribochemical adsorption of oleic acid molecules dominated the tribological behavior of DLC films. The formation of H3BO3 contributed to the reduction in friction and wear of the B-DLC film. The graphitization suppression of the Si-DLC film enhanced its wear resistance. The carbide components and graphitization transition jointly affected the friction and wear of the Cr-DLC and W-DLC films, with graphitization as a beneficial factor. These findings demonstrate the distinct tribological impacts of dopants on the DLC-oleic acid composite system, offering novel insight into the solid-liquid lubrication systems with DLC films.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
