Academics and industry have sought after combining the exceptional properties of
diamonds with the toughness of steel. Since the early 1990s several partial solutions have …

This paper reports on hot filament CVD diamond deposition onto steel using arc-plated
chromium nitride (CrN) as the interlayer. Direct deposition of diamond onto steel leads to the …

The feasibility of using a boriding pretreatment for the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of
adherent, low-residual-stress diamond films on ferritic tool and AISI type 316 austenitic …

With increasing numbers of orthopaedic devices being implanted, greater emphasis is being
placed on ceramic coating technology to reduce friction and wear in mating total joint …

This work shows considerable advance in combining the exceptional properties of chemical
vapor deposition (CVD) diamond with the toughness of steel, a subject that has been sought …

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) films prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) can
improve surface properties of hard materials. In this study, the growth rates of PCD film …

In this report, we present a study of diamond deposition on pure and nitrided chromium
substrates using the hot filament-assisted chemical vapour deposition technique. Deposition …

H2-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) films are deposited on bare as well as nanocrystalline
SnO2-coated stainless steel (SS) 304 substrates. SnO2 films are deposited by electrolysis of …

Diamond films, because of their mechanical hardness, high thermal conductivity, and
excellent optical properties, are commercially important in a wide range of applications [1, 2] …

Diamond-coated stainless-steel blades promise smoother cutting and greater durability. In
this work the feasibility of coating stainless-steel blades with diamond and diamond-like …
