Abstract
A hard, wear resistant coating and a method of forming the coating on a substrate to be exposed to hydrocarbons is provided. A substrate is provided in a chamber. A film is deposited onto the substrate by physical vapor deposition (PVD), where the film includes a bulk layer and an outer termination layer. The deposition of the termination layer is mitigated. The termination layer is removed from the film, leaving the remaining bulk layer disposed over the substrate. And when the substrate is exposed to hydrocarbons in an environment having wear additives, friction modifiers, or naturally occurring compounds, a durable tribological layer is formed on an outer surface of the bulk layer to create a coating having low friction and anti-wear properties.
