DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings)
摘要
The chapter provides a concise characterisation of various forms of carbon coatings, along with fundamental information that is indispensable for further comprehension and elucidation of the phenomena concomitant with their tribological processes. The structural and chemical composition of carbon coatings are addressed. The elementary methods of their production and their effect on the resultant mechanical and tribological properties are also presented.
