Friction and wear of DLC films on magnesium alloy

Advanced silicate-based lubricant additive induced diamond-like carbon structured restoration layer

“…In summary, most of the Raman spectra of the restoration layers in this study were consistent with a typical DLC Raman pattern [19]. The result verified the existence of DLC structure in the restoration layer.…”

“…Generally, Raman spectra of DLC have been evaluated using the G-band around 1540-1580 cm -1 and D-band around 1350 cm -1 . The G-band represents graphite and the D-band represents a disordered graphite-like structure (not diamond) [19].…”

Effects of cathode current density on structure and corrosion resistance of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings formed on ZK60 Mg alloy

“…Owing to its low density, high strength to weight ratio, good cast ability, good welding ability, better electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, high dimensional stability and good electromagnetic shielding characteristics [2][3][4], interests in magnesium and its alloys are proliferating rapidly in aerospace, automotive, construction and communication fields. However, the main drawbacks limiting the application of magnesium and its alloys are their comparatively poor corrosion resistance, friction and wear characteristics [5,6]. Some surface modification techniques have been developed to solve these problems [7][8][9][10].…”

Characterization of microarc oxidation coatings formed on AM60B magnesium alloy in silicate and phosphate electrolytes

“…Thus, its application is becoming attractive especially for aerospace, automotive and communication fields. However, the main factors limiting the application of Mg alloys are their comparatively low corrosion and wear resistance [2,3]. One of the most effective ways to overcome these problems is to coat the base material.…”
