Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have emerged as one of the most promising surface
coatings for applications involving boundary lubrication regime. Some of the characteristics …

The mechanical and tribological properties of three types of diamond like carbon (DLC)
coatings, ie, non-doped, Si-doped, and W-doped DLC, are evaluated. Dry reciprocating …

Little work has been reported directly compared to the tribological behavior of plasma
nitrided pure titanium and those coated with TiN coatings. This work prepared the compound …

Reduction of friction and wear at the sliding surfaces are the main concern in several
applications. From an extensive list of low friction hard coatings, DLC type is one of the most …

The role of surface protective additives becomes vital when operating conditions become
severe and moving components operate in a boundary lubrication regime. After protecting …

In this study, silicon (Si) was doped on a tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coating and
the tribological characteristics of the resulting Si-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC; aC: Si …

Molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) is well-known as a friction-modifier in engine oil but
has wear accelerating effects on DLC/steel sliding contact. Since MoDTC was reported …

In order to improve the abrasion and erosion resistance in severe environments, 50-μm-thick
diamond like carbon (DLC) films with a hardness of 27.3 GPa were fabricated using filtered …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) and graphite-like carbon (GLC) coatings have good prospects
for improving the surface properties of engine parts. However, further understanding is …

A former study on wear in helicopter axial piston pumps showed the main wear mechanism
in the contacts slipper/swashplate is abrasion due to carbides removal. Resulting debris and …
