AB  - The friction properties of diamond-like coating (DLC), including W-DLC, WC-DLC, Si-DLC, taC, a-C:H and a-C, were studied in DLC/DLC and DLC/Steel sliding-rolling contacts lubricated by additivated mineral oils. DLC showed a reduction in friction when additivated, indicating the presence of tribofilm on the DLC surface. Only W-DLC formed a pad-like structure similar to that of steel. Other DLC either formed very thin film or debris-like species on the surface. ta-C coatings give the lowest boundary friction, followed by a-C:H and a-C coatings. DLC that can form ZDDP pads showed good anti-wear properties. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the STLE Annual Meeting and Exhibition 2010 (Las Vegas, NV 5/16-20/2010).
