Mechanical and tribological study of DLC coatings deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating is a well know material for its high hardness, good wear resistance and low friction when sliding against most engineering materials. On the other hand, DLC has weakness like high residual stress, low toughness, bad thermal stability and poor oxidation resistance. W...
