Abstract
The effect of humidity on the tribological behavior of carbide-derived carbon (CDC) films prepared by high-temperature chlorination of silicon carbide was examined. Pin-on-disk tribological tests indicate that CDC, unlike graphite or glassy carbon, performs better in dry nitrogen (less than 0.05 friction coefficient at 0% humidity) than in humid air. This versatility is explained by the onion-like structure of the nanoporous CDC coating.
