Friction and wear of diamondlike carbon on fine-graindiamond

Friction and wear behavior of ion-beam-deposited diamondlikecarbon (DLC) films coated on chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD),fine-grain diamond coatings were examined in ultrahigh vacuum,dry nitrogen, and humid air environments. The DLC films wereproduced by the direct impact of an ion beam (composed of a 3 :17 mixture of Ar and CH₄) at ion energies of 1500 and700 eV. Sliding friction experiments were conducted withhemispherical CVD diamond pins sliding on four differentcarbon-base coating systems: DLC films on CVD diamond; DLC filmson silicon; as-deposited, fine-grain CVD diamond; andcarbon-ion-implanted, fine-grain CVD diamond on silicon. Resultsindicate that in ultrahigh vacuum theion-beam-deposited DLC films on fine-grain CVD diamond (similarto the ion-implanted CVD diamond) greatly decrease both thefriction and wear of fine-grain CVD diamond films and providesolid lubrication. In dry nitrogen and in humid air,ion-beam-deposited DLC films on fine-grain CVD diamond films alsohad a lowsteady-state coefficient of friction and a low wear rate. Thesetribological performance benefits, coupled with a wider range ofcoating thicknesses, led to longer endurance life and improvedwear resistance for the DLC deposited on fine-grain CVD diamondin comparison to the ion-implanted diamond films. Thus, DLCdeposited on fine-grain CVD diamond films can be an effectivewear-resistant, lubricating coating regardless of environment.     

Tribological Performance of Diamond and Diamondlike Carbon Films at Elevated Temperatures

In this study, the authors investigated the tribological performance of diamond and diamondlike carbon (DLC) films as a function of temperature. Both films were deposited on silicon carbide (SiC) by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition and ion-beam deposition processes. Tribological tests were performed on a reciprocating wear machine in open air (20 to 30% relative humidity) and under a 10 N load using SiC pins. For the test conditions explored, the steady-state friction coefficients of test pairs without a diamond or DLC film were 0.7 to 0.9 and the average wear rates of pins were 10^?5 to 10^?7 mm³/N·m, depending on ambient temperature. DLC films reduced the steady-slate friction coefficients of the test pairs by factors of three to five and the wear rates of pins by two to three orders of magnitude. Low friction coefficients were also obtained with the diamond films, but wear rates of the counterface pins were high due to the very abrasive nature of these films. The wear of SiC disks coated with either diamond or DLC films was virtually unmeasurable while the wear of uncoated disks was substantial. Test results showed that the DLC films could afford low friction up to about 300° C. At higher temperatures, the DLC films graphitized and were removed from the surface. The diamond films could withstand much higher tempera-lures, but their tribological behavior degraded. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to elucidate the friction and wear mechanisms of both films at high temperatures.     

Microstructure and Wear Properties Analysis of TiAlN Film Deposited on Cam Profile Using Ion Sputtering

In this study ion beam sputtering deposition was used as a new surface formation technology for strengthening cam surface during the manufacturing process of indexing cam mechanism. Phase exchanging deformation can be avoided in this manufacturing process. Compared to surface quenching processes, the shape accuracy and dimension accuracy can be improved using this method. The microstructure and properties of TiAlN composite film deposited on the profile surface of a cam (made of AISI 1045 steel) by ion beam sputtering deposition were discussed. The microstructural characterizations were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is shown that the fundamental Bragg peak of {111} in TiAlN coatings increased with a bias voltage reduction. The grain size is about 1 μm. The friction coefficient was tested by a rotating wear tester at different loads and speeds. The minimum friction coefficient can be achieved at 0.187.     

Fretting wear and fracture behaviors of Cr-doped and non-doped DLC films deposited on Ti–6al–4V alloy by unbalanced magnetron sputtering

Cr-doped and non-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on a Ti–6Al–4V alloy substrate using an unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBMS). Fretting wear behavior of the specimens was investigated using a ball-on-disk fretting tester. The fracture phenomenon of the DLC films was determined as the number of fretting cycles to reach a high value of the friction coefficient. The results showed that the Cr-doped and non-doped DLC films exhibited a lower friction coefficient and wear rate compared to that of the uncoated specimen. However, the Cr-doped DLC film fractured only in a few cycles, while the non-doped DLC film fractured after fretting cycles of about 200,000. A fracture mechanism of the Cr-doped and non-doped DLC films was reported in this study.
