Ultralow Friction of ZrO2 Ball Sliding against DLC Films under Various Environments

Ultralow friction is achieved by ZrO2 as the friction mate material for DLC (Diamond like carbon) films under various environments. Coefficient of friction (CoF) of ZrO2/DLC films is as ultra low as 0.02 in ambient air at the temperature of 200 °C, and 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 in hydrogen, nitrogen and v...
