Hard coatings have been used for many decades to provide wear resistance. In this paper,
the industrial requirements and benefits of such hard coatings are introduced. Common hard …

The use of diamond in tribological applications in the oil and gas industry is reviewed. The
high hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance of diamond make it an attractive option for …

There is increasing interest in the preparation of graphene-on-diamond (GOD) hybrids since
it is expected to reveal a new horizon of mechanical applications if the beneficial properties …

The tribological behavior of micro-and nano-crystalline diamond films is evaluated in dry
sliding and water lubricating condition. The main wear mechanism is found to be abrasive …

In the present study, we demonstrated a novel process of in-situ fabrication of graphene
sheets by adopting the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Fabricating such a layer of …

Diamond films have been grown on carbon steel substrates by hot filament chemical vapour
deposition (CVD) methods. A Co-containing tungsten-carbide coating prepared by high …

In order to deposit diamond films on zirconia ceramic substrates, a three-dimensional finite
element simulation of the substrate temperature field is proposed to optimize the deposition …

The present study reports the significantly enhanced tribological performance of the
microcrystalline diamond (MCD) film by utilizing the graphene coating on its surface as a …

We have addressed the friction and wear behaviors of multilayer Cr/CrN/GLC (graphite-like
carbon) coatings sliding against different rubbers in water environment. Stribeck curves and …

The superior biotribological performance of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings grown
by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was already shown to demonstrate high wear …
