Article Synopsis
- HDLC is a solid lubricant with superlubricity potential for industrial use, but it shows different friction behavior at nanoscale compared to macroscale tests.
- To achieve superlubricity, HDLC needs to remove a thin air-oxidized layer and transform amorphous carbon into a stable graphitic structure under shear stress.
- The study finds that while transformation to graphitic films occurs, these films are not retained in the nanoscale contact area, which is essential for maintaining superlubricity in HDLC.
