Resumo

Sliding contact experiments and first principles calculations were conducted to study tribological properties between aluminum and fluorinated diamond-like carbon (F- DLC) surfaces. Sliding tests between Al and F-DLC coating generated a low coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.1-0.14 and carbonaceous transfer layers containing AlF3 were formed on the Al surfaces as determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. An interface model that examined interactions between Al (111) and F- terminated diamond (111) surfaces revealed that F atoms would transfer to the Al surface in increasing quantities with an increase in the contact pressure and the F transfer would lead to the formation of a stable AlF3 compound at the Al surface. The generation of repulsive forces between two F-passivated surfaces as a result of F transfer to the Al surface resulted in attainment of a low COF between Al and F-DLC.
