  • Abstract
    Several interlayer materials were introduced under a thin nitrogenated carbon film for corrosion and tribology evaluation. It was found that CrTa interlayer showed the best corrosion resistance but the worst wear performance, and amorphous carbon (a-C) and NiSi interlayers demonstrated reasonable wear resistance
