“…The wear resistance of the DLC films is mainly attributed to their high mechanical strengthand hardness [1][2][3][4] whereas their low friction is not yet been filly-understood. However, it has generally been speculated that the low friction of most carbon films, including DLC and diamond, are largely due to the fact that these materials are chemically inert, hence, they exert very little adhesive force during sliding against other materials.…”

“…DLC films can be deposited at temperatures ranging from subzero to 300"C and at fair]y high deposition rates by a variety of methods, including ion-beam deposition, DC and RF magnetron sputtering, arc-physical vapor deposition (arc-PYD), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and laser ablation [4][5][6][7][8]. Depending on the deposition method and carbon source, large amounts of hydrogen may be present within the amorphous structure of DLC films [1,3]. Films with very little or no hydrogen are also available and can be deposited by laser ablation and arc-PVD methods [9,10].…”

“…A WC/a-c:H coating was deposited on AISI 52100 steel plates of dimensions 7 x 7 x 3 mm 3 followed by an intermediate hard tungsten carbide (WC) layer (by DC magnetron sputtering and gradual introduction of acetylene gas to chamber). The surface topography of H-DLC coating surface is shown in Fig.…”

“…The progressive acceptance of these coatings for the above purposes is due to the mechanical, chemical, electrical and optical properties they exhibit [3,4]. The deposition of DLCs is commonly obtained by plasma decomposition of a hydrocarbon-rich atmosphere at low substrate temperatures and high deposition rates.…”

and 5.5 x 10 -8 mm -3 /N m, respectively. Through Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy it was confirmed the carbon-carbon contact, due to the tribolayer formation on the wear scars of the coating and pin. In order to further corroborate the experimental observations regarding the graphitisation behaviour, the existing mathematical relationships to determine the graphitisation temperature of the coating/steel contact as well as the flash temperature were used.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) shows great promise as a durable, wear- and corrosion-resistant coating for biomedical implants. The effects of DLC coatings on the musculoskeletal system have not been investigated in detail. In this study, DLC coatings were deposited on polystyrene 24-well tissue culture plates by fast-atom bombardment from a hexane precursor. Two osteoblast-like cell lines were cultured on uncoated and DLC-coated plates for periods of up to 72 h. The effects of DLC coatings on cellular metabolism were investigated by measuring the production of three osteoblast-specific marker proteins: alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and type I collagen. There was no evidence that the presence of the DLC coating had any adverse effect on any of the parameters measured in this study. In a second series of experiments, DLC-coated cobalt-chromium cylinders were implanted in intramuscular locations in rats and in transcortical sites in sheep. Histologic analysis of specimens retrieved 90 days after surgery showed that the DLC-coated specimens were well tolerated in both sites. These data indicate that DLC coatings are biocompatible in vitro and in vivo, and further investigations into their long-term biological and tribological performance are now warranted.
