Si interlayers were used to obtain the excellent tribological performances of graphite-like carbon (GLC) film on silicon nitride (Si3N4) and silicon carbide (SiC). The microstructure and mechanical characteristics of the as-prepared GLC films with Si interlayers were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nanoindention and scratch test. The tribological behaviors of GLC-coated and uncoated Si3N4 and SiC were comparatively studied by a ball-on-disc tribo-meter in both dry and water environments. Results showed that the Si interlayers were dense and bonded well with both the substrates and GLC layers. The as-prepared GLC films exhibited excellent tribological performances in both dry and water environments. More importantly, the stably mild wear without any delamination was obtained in water by using Si interlayer. The mechanisms of friction reduction and anti-wear performances of GLC films on the two ceramics with Si interlayers under different environmental conditions were discussed, as well as the corresponding models were deduced.
