Titel
DLC based coatings. Preparation, properties and applications
Abstract
Coatings based on diamond-like carbon (DLC) are known for their high hardness, low wear rates and low friction coefficients. DLC coatings will be deposited onto unheated substrates. Therefore many temperature sensitive materials can be coated. By modifications of the film composition and structure also other properties like surface energy and electrical conductivity can be optimised. Therefore DLC coatings have a high potential for applications in the fields of components and tools. The mainly used deposition techniques, essential mechanical and tribological properties as well as several examples for applications will be reported.
