In the present paper, we develop a new in situ surface treatment technology for diamond-like
carbon (DLC) coatings using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in ambient air. The friction …

It is widely recognized that the total hip prosthesis is one of the most successful applications
of biomaterials in the medical industry (Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) has been under the research spotlight as an exceptional solid
lubricant. Its friction performance is depending on a well-developed transfer layer upon its …

In the present paper, we develop a new in situ low-friction technology for diamond-like
carbon coatings using surface discharge in ambient air. As a result, the friction coefficient …

Improving the hardness of amorphous carbon nitride with tantalum was realized by using ion
beam assisted filtered arc deposition to obtain a low friction coefficient and low specific wear …

This study examined the tribological behavior of a ta-C coating fabricated at a substrate bias
of− 100 V via filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition. Defects in the ta-C coating …

In recent years, the demand for friction reduction in oil lubrication systems has become
increasingly important due to the need to improve fuel economy and achieve carbon …

Geothermal steam, the power source in geothermal power generation, contains a large
amount of silica. Silica adhesion on geothermal power generator equipment hinders stable …

This research investigates the properties of nitrogen-containing diamond-like carbon (N-
DLC) coatings deposited on glass substrate using a high-frequency pulsed-DC substrate …

In this study, the Cr/Cr-W/W-DLC/DLC multilayer coating was deposited on 5A06 Al alloy
using a combination of unbalanced magnetron sputtering system and filter cathode vacuum …
