摘要: Abstract Transition metal carbides (TMC) are known for their improved tribological properties and sensitive to the tribo-atmospheric environment. Nanocrystalline molybdenum carbide (MoC) thin films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering technique using reactive CH4 gas. The friction wear resistance of MoC significantly in humid-atmospheric condition as compared high-vacuum tribo-condition. A comprehensive chemical analysis deformed contact interfaces was carried out X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy dispersive (EDX) Raman spectroscopy. XPS showed formation stable molybdenum-oxide (MoO), amorphous carbon (a-C) tribo-phases. Moreover, during sliding condition, these phases extensively on steel ball counter body which protected against undesirable wear.
