Ti-containing amorphous carbon (a-C:Ti) films shows attractive mechanical properties such as low friction coefficient, good adhesion to various substrate and high wear resistance. The incorporation of titanium in a-C films is able to improve the electrical conductivity, friction coefficient and adhesion to various substrates. In this study, a-C:Ti films were depositied on Si wafer by closed-field unbalanced magnetron (CFUBM) sputtering system composed two targets of carbon and titanium. The tribological properties of a-C:Ti films were investigated with the increase of DC bias voltage from 0 V to - 200 V. The hardness and elastic modulus of films increase with the increase of DC bias voltage and the maximum hardness shows 21 GPa. Also, the coefficient of friction exhibites as low as 0.07 in the ambient. In the result, the a-C:Ti film obtained by CFUBM sputtering method improved the tribological properties with the increase of DC bias volatage.

Silver is known to have such characteristics as low shear strength, good transfer-film forming tendency, and good corrosion resistance. Silver thin films have been prepared by ion plating of physical vapour deposition (PVD) using both argon gas pressure and bias voltage of processing condition. After the silver films were prepared, the properties in them were examined by gas pressure and bias voltage of substrate. Their morphology and crystal orientation were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractor. The properties of film were, also, studied to relate with morphology, X-ray diffraction pattern, and friction coefficient at vacuum ambient. The friction coefficient was stabilized remarkably on deposited films with increasing argon pressure for deposition. Also, the effect of increasing of the bias voltage for deposition resulted in lower friction coefficient and stability in $1.7$\times$10^{-4}$ torr. On the contrary, behavior of friction coefficient was stabilized on deposited films with decreasing the bias voltage in $1.7$\times$10^{-5}$ torr for deposition.

The high-temperature material properties of steel are very important to the fire resistance analysis of high-strength bolt connections. This paper reports on the results of the experimental studies on the high-temperature properties of 20 MnTiB steel which is widely used in high-strength bolts, and the friction coefficient of 16Mn steel plates at elevated temperature which is a necessary parameter for bolted frictional connection analysis. The test data includes yield strength, limit strength, modulus of elasticity, elongation and expansion coefficient of 20MnTiB steel at elevated temperature, and the friction coefficients between two 16Mn steel plates under elevated temperatures and after cooling. Based on the data from the tests, the mathematical models for predicting the mechanical properties of 20MnTiB steel and friction coefficients of 16Mn steel plates have been established.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) films have predominant tribological properties like a high hardness, low friction and high chemical resistance; therefore, DLC films are applied in a wide range of industrial fields. This paper evaluated the characteristics of DLC films deposited on bearing steel with different hardness by RF-PECVD (Radio Frequency - Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) method. Si-interlayer was deposited on bearing steel to improve adhesion strength by RF-Sputtering method. The DLC film structures were analyzed with Raman spectra and Gaussian function. Adhesion strength of DLC films was measured with a scratch tester. Friction and wear test were carried out with a ball-on -disc type to investigate the tribological characteristics. Experimental results showed that DLC films deposited on bearing steel under same deposition condition have typical structure DLC films regardless of hardness of bearing steel. Adhesion strength of DLC film is increased with a hardness of bearing steel. Friction coefficient of DLC film showed lower at the high hardness of bearing steel.

In these days, wear resistance is an essential condition because the relative movement between machine parts is being accelerated and those connected with the drive parts transmit power and force. Also wear resistance is closely related to reliability and life of products, therefore the study on friction and wear is very important in many fields. In this paper, wear test was conducted to know properties about friction and wear of manganese phosphate being used widely. Test type is 1 ball on disk and we compared manganese phosphate thin film with non-coated material. Through this study, we could know the effect of this surface treatment method, and then it is assumed that the reliability of parts will be secure.

This study deals with the friction and wear characteristics of C-N coated spur gear. The PSII apparatus was built and a SCM415 test piece and test gear with steel substrate was treated with carbon nitrogen by this apparatus. The composition and structure of the surface layer were analyzed and compared with that of PVD coated TiN layer. It was found that both of friction coefficients of C-N coating and TiN coaling decreased with increasing load, however, C-N coating showed relatively lower friction coefficient than that of TiN coating. We was investigated the effect of C-N coating on hardness, friction and wear. The TiN coated gear showed more serious friction phenomena than that of C-N coated gear. It was considered that coating of TiN, which was conducted at a vacuum chamber at about $500^{\circ}C$ results in a tempering of base material that causes microstructure change, which in turn resulted in decreasing of hardness. The C-N coated gear and pinion had higher wear resistance that of TiN coated gear and pinion. C-N coating significantly improved the friction and wear resistance of the gear.

TiN coated films show a good mechanical properties, high thermal properties and wear, erosion and corrosion resistance and are widely used as a coating materials in tools, ornaments, parts and semiconductors. In spite of these good properties, the fracture of TiN coated films occur during use. The fracture of TiN thin films is related to their microstructure. Especially, the life of TiN coated layer is related to the texture of the TiN films. One researcher suggested that the corrosion and erosion resistance of the TiN thin films is related to a uniform and dense structure of films. In this study, we studied the relationships between textures and friction coefficient, erosion and corrosion in TiN coated films. The flatness of (115) texture surface of TiN thin films is flatter than that of (111) texture surface. The friction coefficient of (115) texture surface of TiN thin films is similar with that of (111) texture surface. The wear resistance of (115) texture surface of TiN thin films is better than that of (111) texture surface. The erosion and corrosion resistance of (115) texture surface of TiN thin films is better than that of (111) torture surface. As well as texture, the wear, erosion and corrosion of TiN thin films has to consider defects such as pinholes, cracks, surface roughness and open columnar structure. The life of TiN coated products is influenced by the properties of wear, erosion, and corrosion resistance of TiN thin films and is related to texture of TiN coated films, density of pinholes and cracks, density of structure, and surface flatness.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a commercialized friction material in friction pendulum systems used for earthquake hazard mitigation in structures, and it has excellent chemical resistance and frictional performance. However, PTFE has a relatively low wear resistance for the friction pendulum systems in service. As an alternative to PTFE, a cost-effective frictional material, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) strengthened by magnesium oxide (MgO), with enhanced wear resistance performance is proposed in this study. The frictional performance of the developed PVDF/MgO was evaluated through experiments and compared with that of PTFE. Accordingly, a friction pendulum system was designed using the measured friction coefficient. The performance of this friction pendulum system was evaluated via nonlinear time history analyses of bridges. Subsequently, the plausibility of using PVDF/MgO as an alternative to PTFE as a friction material for friction pendulum systems was discussed.

Sliding wear test and surface characterization techniques such as micro-Raman spectroscopy were employed to determine the effect of whisker content and orientation on the friction and wear behavior of SiC whisker reinforced alumina. Composites containing unidirectionally oriented whiskers were fabricated by novel technique Addition of SiC whiskers up to 20 vol.% lowered the friction and improved wear resistance. The results of this study indicated that highly disordered graphite and size of the layer behind the whiskers were responsible for variation of wear rate and friction coefficient.
