In the last ten years significant progress has been made on development and understanding
of diamond-like carbon coatings (DLC), which enabled them to become one of the most …

Wear in self-mated tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films is studied by molecular
dynamics and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. Both theory and …

High-pressure common rail injection systems lubricated with low-lubricity fuel may be made
more resistant to wear and scuffing with robust coatings. In this study, a WC-Co coating was …

Due to their good wear resistance and low friction coefficient diamond-like carbon (DLC)
coatings have been studied intensively for many years and a great deal of research has …

Inhibiting the tribological failure of mechanical assemblies which rely on fuels for lubrication
is an obstacle to maintaining the lifetime of these systems with low-viscosity and low-lubricity …

Scratch resistance and tribological properties of hydrogenated and hydrogen free diamond
like carbon (DLC) coatings were investigated in ambient atmosphere under unlubricated …

The aim of this investigation was to find a suitable pretreatment for the subsequent
deposition of DLC films on a steel substrate. The implantation should on the one hand …
