Running surfaces coated with diamond-like carbon films provide high wear resistance and improve the friction properties. This considerably lengthens the service life of the bearing. The discussion covers introduction; adhesion and emergency running properties; efficiency of DLC films with use of lubricants; DLC-coated gearings; wear; surface fatigue; and summary.de667669journal article
