N2 - Solid lubrication film formed by tribo-coating, which deposits a solid lubricant by evaporation to the contact interface during friction in vacuum, gives low friction coefficient below 0.03 that can not be observed by any other solid lubricants of soft metals. The tribo-coating film formed on the pin has nano-order composite structure which the crystalline indium of nano size are distributed in an amorphous matrix of silicon oxide and chromium oxide. Because of the nano composite structure, a very thin indium film is formed without break down like conventional precoated thin film. The thinner indium film can give smaller value of friction coefficient than that of conventional solid lubricant.
