Book Diamond Like Carbon Coatings

Download or read book Diamond Like Carbon Coatings written by Peerawatt Nunthavarawong and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond-like carbons (DLCs) display a number of attractive properties that make them versatile coating materials for a variety of applications, including extremely high hardness values, very low friction properties, very low gas permeability, good biocompatibility, and very high electrical resistivity, among others. Further research into this material is required to produce hydrogen-free DLC films and to synthesize it together with other materials, thereby obtaining better film properties. Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings: Technologies and Applications examines emerging manufacturing technologies for DLCs with the aim of improving their properties for use in practical applications. Discusses DLC coatings used in mechanical, manufacturing, and medical applications Details recent developments in the novel synthesis of DLC films Covers advances in understanding of chemical, structural, physical, mechanical, and tribological properties for modern material processing Highlights methods to yield longer service life Considers prospects for future applications of emerging DLC technologies This work is aimed at materials science and engineering researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals.

Book Synthesis and Characterization of Diamond like Carbon Coatings Deposited by Plasma Source Ion Implantation and Conventional Ion Beam Assisted Deposition Processes

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Diamond like Carbon Coatings Deposited by Plasma Source Ion Implantation and Conventional Ion Beam Assisted Deposition Processes written by Brian M. Stout and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond-like carbon coatings produced by Plasma Source Ion Implantation (PSII) and beamline Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD) were synthesized and studied. Gas pressure and electrical current were used as variables to design four independent PSII test sets. Beamline IBAD samples were produced with a pre-optimized set of parameters. Profilometry measurements showed the films to have thicknesses between 1.44 +/- 09 and 1.64 +/- 04 microns and to possess very low roughness averages, ranging from 14 +/- 3 to 28 +/- 3 nm, which correlate with substrate surface roughness. Atomic Force Microscopy revealed that diamond-like carbon crystal sizes varied significantly with chamber pressure. Crystals were generally spherical in shape suggesting that films were highly amorphous. Microhardness and nanohardness test results showed the hardest films to be greater than 3 times the hardness of untreated steel. The elastic modulus of the films, measured during the nanohardness test, was directly related to film hardness. Fretting wear and Pin-on-Disk tests were performed to quantitatively assess the ability of films to resist wear. Fretting wear tests showed a dramatic decrease in friction for diamond-like carbon films with friction levels ranging from 10% to 30% of that of untreated steel. Pin-on-Disk tests revealed a significant improvement in wear resistance prior to stylus penetration into the substrate.

Book Status and Applications of Diamond and Diamond Like Materials

Download or read book Status and Applications of Diamond and Diamond Like Materials written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1990-02-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent discoveries enabling the growth of crystalline diamond by chemical vapor deposition offer the potential for a wide variety of new applications. This new book examines the state of the technology arising from these discoveries in relation to other allied materials, such as high-pressure diamond and cubic boron nitride. Most of the potential defense, space, and commercial applications are related to diamond's hardness, but some utilize its other qualities, such as optical and electronic properties. The authors review growth processes and discuss techniques for characterizing the resulting materials' properties. Crystalline diamond is emphasized, but other diamond-like materials (e.g. silicon carbide and amorphous carbon containing hydrogen) are also examined. In addition, the authors identify scientific, technical, and economic problems that could impede the rapid exploitation of these materials, and present recommendations covering broad areas of research and development.

Book Nanostructural Characterization of Amorphous Diamondlike Carbon Films

Download or read book Nanostructural Characterization of Amorphous Diamondlike Carbon Films written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanostructural characterization of amorphous diamondlike carbon (a-C) films grown on silicon using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) is correlated to both growth energetic and film thickness. Raman spectroscopy and x-ray reflectivity probe both the topological nature of 3- and 4-fold coordinated carbon atom bonding and the topographical clustering of their distributions within a given film. In general, increasing the energetic of PLD growth results in films becoming more ''diamondlike'', i.e. increasing mass density and decreasing optical absorbance. However, these same properties decrease appreciably with thickness. The topology of carbon atom bonding is different for material near the substrate interface compared to material within the bulk portion of an a-C film. A simple model balancing the energy of residual stress and the free energies of resulting carbon topologies is proposed to provide an explanation of the evolution of topographical bonding clusters in a growing a-C film.
