Hard coatings, such as Hard Cr plating and CrN, show the excellent anti-wear properties under normal sliding test condition with lubricant. It is very difficult to evaluate the prepotency from the few differences in wear values, In order to detect significant variance, we tried to use the lubrication-oil which contains carbon soot for the reciprocating sliding test. Addition of carbon soot resulted to clear the differences of wear properties between the anti-wear hard coatings.
