Abstract
In order to clarify a low friction mechanism of CNx (Carbon Nitride) coating in PAO (Poly Alpha Olefin) oil lubrication, we measured reflectance spectrum at friction area in-situ by reflectance spectroscopy. And we obtained thicknesses and polarizabilities of oil film and transformed layer formed on bulk CNx coating during friction test by analyzing reflectance spectrum. From results, we concluded that the increments of polarizabilities of transformed layer and oil film had an effect on increasing thickness of oil film, and then the lubricated condition changed from boundary to mixed lubrication. Finally CNx coating showed low friction coefficient in PAO oil lubrication.
