Superior wear resistance of diamond and DLC coatings
Abstract
As the hardest known material, diamond and its coatings continue to generate significant attention for stringent applications involving extreme tribological conditions. Likewise, diamond-like carbon (DLC, especially the tetragonal amorphous carbon, ta-C) coatings have also maintained a high level interest for numerous industrial applications where efficiency, performance, and reliability are of great importance. Additionally, the strong covalent bonding or sp3-hybridizaiton in diamond and ta-C coatings assures high mechanical hardness, stiffness, chemical and thermal stability that make them well-suited for harsh tribological conditions involving high-speeds, loads, and temperatures. In particular, unique chemical and mechanical nature of diamond and ta-C surfaces plays an important role in their unusual friction and wear behaviors. As with all other tribomaterials, both diamond and ta-C coatings strongly interact with the chemical species in their surroundings during sliding and hence produce a chemically passive top surface layer which ultimately determines the extent of friction and wear. Thick micro-crystalline diamond films are most preferred for tooling applications, while thinner nano/ultranano-crysalline diamond films are well-suited for mechanical devices ranging from nano- (such as NEMS) to micro- (MEMS and AFM tips) as well as macro-scale devices including mechanical pump seals. The ta-C coatings have lately become indispensable for a variety ofmore »

The ta-C coatings have lately become indispensable for a variety of automotive applications and are used in very large volumes in tappets, piston pins, rings, and a variety of gears and bearings, especially in the Asian market. This paper is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in tribology of super-hard diamond and DLC (ta-C) films with a special emphasis on their friction and wear mechanisms that are key to their extraordinary tribological performance under harsh tribological conditions. Finally, based on the results of recent studies, the paper will also attempt to highlight what lies ahead for these films in tribology and other demanding industrial applications.},
