Abstract
Henicosyl-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrododecyltricholrosilane is a hydrophobic silane
compound coated on AISI 304 substrate. The surface of the substrate was treated in two ways
(silicon oxide and plasma oxide) for adhesion and interface between the inorganic substrate
and organic coating. The wear performance of the coating as a comparison to the AISI 304 was
investigated using vacuum tribometer and characterized by scanning electron microscope and
atomic force microscope. The result showed that the silane compound did improve the wear
property of the AISI 304 stainless steel. It also proved that silane can be used as wear
resistance agent.
