Abstract:Tetrahedral amorphous-carbon (ta-C) without hydrogen is the hardest in diamond-like carbon (DLC), and expected of the application to coating on dry cutting tool for aluminum. The only method to prepare ta-C on an industrial scale is cathodic vacuum arc deposition. We have been developed T-shape filtered arc deposition (T-FAD) system with efficient droplet reduction. However, ta-C usually requires a binding interlayer between the workpiece and film, since the internal stress of the film is very high and adhesio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
