Microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of multilayer Ti-DLC thick films on Al alloys by filtered cathodic vacuum arc technology

Low hardness and poor wear resistance are major limitations of Al alloys, which hinder their application in several fields, especially automotive moving parts. DLC can effectively improve hardness and wear resistance of Al alloys, but high residual stress and poor adhesion limit the film thickness....
