Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are characterized by their high wear, abrasion, and corrosion resistance. This article discusses DLC coatings types, mechanical properties, coefficient of friction, surface properties, electrical properties, corrosion resistance properties, and uses.
An extremely thin, hard, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating decreases the Coefficient of Friction (COF) of components to nearly zero, while increasing wear resistance.
Within the universe of wear-resistant thin films, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have emerged as the ideal solution for demanding physical applications where components are under high loads or subject to extreme friction, wear and contact with other parts.
