The friction and wear behavior of materials are not intrinsic properties, but extrinsic
properties; in other words, they can drastically vary depending on test and environmental …

During the last two decades, the industry (including scientists) has focused on diamond-like
carbon (DLC) coating because of its wide range of application in various fields. This material …

Extensive research on diamond and diamondlike carbon (DLC) films in our laboratory has
further confirmed that hydrogen plays an important role in the tribological properties of these …

In this study, we introduce a new diamondlike carbon (DLC) film providing a friction
coefficient of 0.001 and wear rates of 10− 9–10− 10 mm 3/N m in inert-gas environments …

Diamondlike carbon (DLC) films offer enormous possibilities for applications that require low
friction and high wear resistance. The range of physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical …

Challenges in aerospace tribology and composite coatings for aerospace applications are
briefly reviewed. Attention is given to nanocomposite coatings made of carbide, diamond …

This book presents an overview of nanostructure determination and ways to find
relationships to the electronic and optical properties. The methods described can be applied …

Whether an airplane or a space shuttle, a flying machine requires advanced materials to
provide a strong, lightweight body and a powerful engine that functions at high temperature …

In this study, we investigated the friction and wear performance of diamond-like carbon films
(DLC) derived from increasingly hydrogenated methane plasmas. The films were deposited …

The tribological performance and tribochemistry of vacuum deposited nanocrystalline
WC/amorphous diamond-like carbon (DLC) composite coatings were investigated. Coating …
