Friction and wear behavior are important due to the reliability of mechanical parts. In this paper, we studied tribological characteristics of the sliding parts which are constituted piston and cylinder of the hermatic compressor using the falex tester. We prepared test specimens which are nitrocarburized mild steel and cast iron, relatively. Nitrocarburized specimen is machined from the surface for removing brittle compound layer. Moreover, we researched the wear performance of manganese phosphate film applied to the both specimens. The test results showed that diffusion layer of the nitrocarburized mild steel with proper hardness is good wear performance at the mating material. Also, we could know the manganese phosphate film makes lower the friction coefficient and protects the substrate.
