Abstract
Effects of surface cleanliness of base steel on adhesive strength and friction properties of thin gold films formed on the base steel were studied. SUS440C was used as base steel after various cleaning processes, and its cleanliness was evaluated by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). To avoid air contamination, a sputtering apparatus was installed in the XPS unit so that gold films were immediately formed on the surface of which cleanliness was identified by XPS. Adhesion strength and friction properties were investigated by an adhesion strength measuring method using epoxy resin and by a pin-on-disc tyPe friction tester, respectively. The former method made it possible to effectively recognize the existence of several tenth-layer to a monolayer of anti-rust agent. The sliding friction test showed that the film`s wear life was sensitive to the presence of oxygen and carbon after removing anti-rust agent by ion-bombardment. Moreover, a monolayer of anti-rust agent remaining on the surface was found to lower the friction coefficient in the first 10 times of friction. 14 refs., 18 figs., 4 tabs.
