Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a nanostructured composite thin film showing low friction properties and a method for manufacturing same, and a member with low friction properties and a method for manufacturing same, wherein the thin film shows an exceptionally low value of friction coefficient but also shows high hardness and adhesion in comparison with conventional thin films, and the member has such a nanostructured composite thin film formed on the surface thereof. Provided, according to one aspect of the present invention, is a nanostructured composite thin film having low friction properties which has a composite structure in which a nitride phase comprising Zr and Al as a nitride component and at least one metallic phase are mixed, and has the size of a crystal grain in the range of 5 nm to 30 nm. Here, the nitride phase has a crystal structure of Zr nitride, and the metallic phase can comprise one or more selected from Cu and Ni.
