The effect of humidity on friction properties of carbon nitride (CNx) in nitrogen (N2) atmosphere were investigated by using a ball-on-disk tribo-tester in atmospheres with controlled humidity and oxygen concentration. It was concluded that friction coefficient in the combination of CNx/CNx and Si3N4/CNx in N2 gas atmosphere were reduced from the order of 0.1 to 0.01 by decreasing of humidity from 40% RH to 0% RH when the O2 concentration is kept below 100 ppm. Further, stability of low friction of CNx/CNx in N2 gas atmosphere was confirmed experimentally. The frictional pair of CNx/CNx provided low and a stable friction coefficient of 0.01 in 99.9% nitrogen gas condition under low relative humidity of 2% or less.

Crystalline β- C 3 N 4 was predicted to have mechanical properties similar to those of diamond. Until recently, only amorphous carbon nitride coatings were made in spite of numerous attempts. This lack of success in making crystalline coatings suggests that β- C 3 N 4 is metastable. Using TiN as seeding layers and under proper processing conditions, we were able to synthesize fully crystalline carbon nitride composite coatings with hardness in the 45–55 GPa range, which is at the low end of diamond. Suggestions for further improvements and implementation with other deposition techniques will be made.
