Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are recognized for a broad range of industrial
applications due to their superior mechanical properties such as high hardness, low friction …

This article presents an overview of the research in chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
diamond films on steel substrates. Since the steels are the most commonly used and cost …

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon (aC: H) films exhibit super-low friction coefficient but high
wear rate in vacuum, while adjusting the deposition bias voltage is a practical method to …

By designing different interlayers (Al, Si/Si x N y and Cr interlayer) and oxygen plasma
pretreatment of the substrate, strong adhesion was realized for the double-layer flexible …

Thick multilayered DLC coatings were deposited on the inner surface of pipes with different
draw ratios by hollow cathode plasma immersion ion processing (PIIP). By tuning the …

In this study, TiAlN ceramic films were fabricated via reactive magnetron sputtering on a
Ti6Al4V titanium alloy substrate. The effects of N 2 flow rates on the microstructure and …

The poor adhesion of carbon thin films was the main restriction for its massive application in
recent years. Physicochemical interaction improvement at the adhesion interface between …

In this review paper the use of agro waste as a sustainable source for steel reinforcing steel
was investigated. Agro waste is said to have certain amount of carbon which can be useful …

The analysis of modern welding methods shows that there are a number of factors in the
weld pad, which together lead to a significant reduction in the wear resistance of the applied …

Currently, the technology of arc metallization according to technical and economic indicators
is a promising way to restore worn parts of equipment. In the coating process the cored wire …
