The available measurements on the tribological behavior of WC/C multilayer coatings are mainly performed on atomically smooth Si surfaces. In this work, we study the influence of surface roughness on the friction and wear of WC/C coatings. Chromium steel samples cut from linear bearing were polished to surface roughness (Ra) in the range of 3 nm ~ 700 nm, and subsequently deposited with 700 nm thick WC/C coatings. The measurements were performed by using a reciprocating microtribometer at different normal load and velocity in normal atmospheric conditions. As a comparison, bare samples (without coating) were also tested. We find a roughness, on which the coefficient of friction (COF) is minimum for bare samples, but is maximum for coated samples. The reduction of COF by applying the coating is ~200%.
