... plating, and diamond-like carbon ( DLC ) films were prepared via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition ( PECVD ). Tribological tests on the films were performed using a ball-on-disc tribometer under different normal loads and reciprocating frequencies with different counterparts. Findings...

...Yunhai Liu; Penghui Xu; Xiaohua Zhu; Ligao Liu; Bo Li; Qingquan Li Purpose Two friction models of Fe-Fe and Diamond-like carbon (DLC)-Fe were established by molecular dynamics (MD) method to simulate the friction behavior of traditional fracturing pump plunger and new DLC plunger from atomic scale...

... of the mechanical seal was found to be the most effective method to reduce frictional coefficient, frictional force and seal face temperature, thereby increasing the life time of mechanical seal. Design/methodology/approach In this study, two coatings, diamond-like carbon (DLC) and tungsten carbide/carbon (WC/C...

...Luciano Castro Lara; Henara Costa; José Daniel Biasoli de Mello Purpose – This paper aims to analyse the influence of the thickness of different layers [diamond-like-carbon (DLC) and chromium nitride (CrN)] on the sliding wear behaviour of a multifunctional coating on AISI 1020 substrates. When...
