Study of the Effect of Substrate on 3D Surface Roughness in Diamond-Like-Carbon Coating Process

This paper presents an experimental platform which is used to study the effect of DLC coating on surface roughness. Variety of experiments is conducted and the effect of variation of the coating process parameters and type and combination of sub layers on the surface roughness of the coated part is discussed.

Diamond-like carbon coating under oleic acid lubrication: Evidence for graphene oxide formation in superlow friction

The achievement of the superlubricity regime, with a friction coefficient below 0.01, is the Holy Grail of many tribological applications, with the potential to have a remarkable impact on economic and environmental issues. Based on a combined high-resolution photoemission and soft X-ray absorption study, we report that superlubricity can be realized for engineering applications in bearing stee...

Effect of Catalyst on the Growth of Diamond-like Carbon by HFCVD

Diamond like carbon (DLC) film was grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD)technique. In the present work, we investigated the quality of the DLC films groew on the substratesthat were coated with various metal nanocatalysts (Au and Ni). A combination of CH4/Ar/H2 rendersthe growth of carbon nanostructures technique (diamond like carbon). The utilized samples werecharacterized by...

Studies on Diamond-like Carbon and Novel Diamond-like Carbon Polymer Hybrid Coatings Deposited with Filtered Pulsed Arc Discharge Method

The main obstacle for the application of high quality diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings has been the lack of adhesion to the substrate as the coating thickness is increased. The aim of this study was to improve the filtered pulsed arc discharge (FPAD) method. With this method it is possible to achieve high DLC coating thicknesses necessary for practical applications. The energy of the carbon i...
