Abstract
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have low friction and
high wear resistance compared to bulk materials and to
other wear-resistant coated surfaces. The surrounding
environment, gas atmosphere, humidity and temperature,
affect the friction and wear performance of DLC films
dramatically. In dry and inert atmospheres, the highly
hydrogenated DLC films typically exhibit low friction
performance, but the hydrogen-free DLC films have high
friction accompanied with increased wear.
