Abstract

The paper discusses the tribological performance of amorphous carbon films deposited on steel substrates with the pre-treatment of carbon ion implantation. Prior to deposition, the steel substrates were implanted with a metal vapour vacuum arc (MEVVA) ion source in order to create a carbon composition gradient layer on the surface. Subsequently, non-hydrogenated amorphous carbon films were prepared by a closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering ion plating (CFUBMSIP) technique. The tribological tests using a conventional ball-on-disk tribometry showed that the films exhibited excellent performance during dry sliding. Low friction coefficients (x or Cr interlayers failed at the very beginning of the sliding. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
