Abstract
⺠Low friction coefficients of less than 0.05 are achieved in inert gas. ⺠Carbon tribo-layer is found on the wear scar where tribo-film is not observed. ⺠The thickness of the carbon tribo-layer is approximately 10 nm. ⺠This carbon tribo-layer is enough for low friction of CNx coatings in inert gas. ⺠Tribo-film is not necessary and should be avoided for stable and low friction.
