Testing of Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings under Slip-Rolling Friction Monitored by Acoustic Emission
نویسنده
چکیده
Wear tests were carried out on different DLC coatings under lubricated and dry slip-rolling friction in a Twin-Disc Testing rig. The analysis of Acoustic Emission (AE) provided an easy and comfortable tool for monitoring the wear life of DLC coatings. A DLC coating in-service was indicated by the appearance of no or just single AE events due to single damages (crack, small spallings, etc.) to the coating and the counterbody. A high AE activity consisting of events of low energy was due to large spallings in the coating which led to the undesirable contact between steel substrate and steel counterbody. However, a high AE activity caused by events of high energy indicated the end-of-service of the coating. In each and every test this AE activity was observed, the coating failed in the end. The AE responded much quicker and was much more sensitive than any changes in the Coefficient Of Friction (COF).

Influence of humidity on the friction of diamond and diamond-like carbon materials
The friction of diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC) materials was evaluated in reciprocating sliding wear testing under controlled relative humidity. The testing conditions were a displacement stroke of 100 mm, an oscillatory frequency of 8Hz and a normal load of 2N. The coefficient of friction of diamond and hydrogen-free DLC (a-C) coatings against a corundum sphere in the steady regime decr...

The tribological protection of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites (CFC) is essential for broadening their use from structural to functional applications, e.g., to linear bearings in mechanical engineering. However, their wear resistance in sliding and rolling contacts is low. This work focusses on the possibility of improving their tribological properties by the application of thin hard m...

This paper comparatively studies the tribological behaviour of different types of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings in a reciprocating sliding wear test. The results are interpreted in terms of structure and surface morphological characteristics. At the beginning of each reciprocating sliding wear test, the higher coefficient of friction of the DLC coatings reflects the original surface condit...
