Friction and wear behaviors of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film sliding against steel ball were investigated on a ball-on-disk test rig at different relative humidity (RH) in a nitrogen environment. The worn surface morphology of the steel ball was observed on a scanning electron microscope (SEM), while the chemical states of some typical elements on the worn surface of DLC film were investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The result showed that the DLC film recorded continuously increased friction coefficient and wear rate with increasing relative humidity from 5% to 100%. In dry nitrogen (RH < 5%), thick and compact transferred carbon-rich layer was observed covering on the worn surface of steel ball, while the chemical states of the original and worn film surface showed no obvious change. In humid nitrogen, distinct changes of the chemical states on the worn surface of DLC film took place, indicating that tribochemical reactions such as the oxidation of DLC film and the interactions between DLC film and steel ball were involved in the friction process. Therefore, it was proposed that the friction and wear behaviors of DLC film were dependent on the friction-induced physical and chemical interactions among DLC film, steel ball and water and/or oxygen molecules. The roles of environment in the friction and wear behaviors of DLC film were discussed in terms of the friction-induced physical and chemical interactions.
