Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings doped with Ti and Ni elements were deposited on 316 L stainless steel substrate using magnetron sputtering technology. The morphology, microstructures, and performances of the coatings were detected using scanning electron microscopy, a Raman spectrometer, nanoindenter, scratch tester, and a tribological machine. The effects of element doping on the microstructures, friction and wear properties of DLC coatings were analyzed. The results revealed that Ti/Ni doping ensures the uniform cover and tight fit of DLC coatings on the substrate. Additionally, Ni-doped DLC coatings have a much smoother surface and denser texture with higher bonding strength and enhanced hardness (7.5 GPa) though Ti doping also can improve the bond strength to some extent. The presence of Ni both in the 316 L substrate and in Ni-doped DLC coatings improves interface matching, decreases structural differences, and increases bonding strength. Moreover, the presence of Ni effectively inhibits oxidation and corrosion in friction interfaces, stabilizes the friction coefficient, and enhances wear resistance. Therefore, based on this study, it was concluded that reasonable matching between the dopant elements and the substrates can effectively improve the performance of DLC coatings.

Tribocorrosion, a research field that has been evolving for decades, has gained renewed attention in recent years, driven by increased demand for wear- and corrosion-resistant materials from biomedical implants, nuclear power generation, advanced manufacturing, batteries, marine and offshore industries, etc. In the United States, wear and corrosion are estimated to cost nearly USD 300 billion per year. Among various important structural materials, passive metals such as aluminum alloys are most vulnerable to tribocorrosion due to the wear-accelerated corrosion as a result of passive film removal. Thus, designing aluminum alloys with better tribocorrosion performance is of both scientific and practical importance. This article reviews five decades of research on the tribocorrosion of aluminum alloys, from experimental to computational studies. Special focus is placed on two aspects: (1) The effects of alloying and grain size on the fundamental wear, corrosion, and tribocorrosion mechanisms; and (2) Alloy design strategies to improve the tribocorrosion resistance of aluminum alloys. Finally, the paper sheds light on the current challenges faced and outlines a few future research directions in the field of tribocorrosion of aluminum alloys.

“…Although, DLC coatings have several desirable properties, they are also characterized by high residual stresses and thus, low adhesion with the substrate material, which restricts their industrial applications [17,18]. It has been reported that additional elements, such as nitrogen [19], silicon [4], titanium [20] and various other additions can improve the amorphous carbon film properties.…”

Tungsten (W) reinforced diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanocomposite thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by magnetron sputtering in a CH4/Ar discharge. The W content of the films was varied by varying the W target power (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 W). The evolution of the W-DLC nanocomposites was studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, 3D optical profilometry and Raman spectroscopy. Increasing the W target power resulted in an almost liner increase in the W content, reduced the hardness and the sp3/sp2 ratio in the films, while it increased the surface roughness and promoted formation of WC nanoparticles. Tribological properties were studied by conducting sliding reciprocating testing. Wear tracks were analyzed with Raman spectroscopy and 3D optical profilometry. Increasing the W content in the films (increasing target power) resulted in a reduction of both, the friction coefficient and wear rate. The film deposited at 80 W target power (~8 at. % W) exhibited the lowest friction coefficient (0.15) and wear rate (6x10-7 mm3N-1m-1). The observed low friction and wear rate were attributed to the particular nanocomposite structure of the films involving a fine distribution of WC nanoparticles surrounded by a sp2 dominant carbon network. The present W-DLC nanocomposite films offer a highly desirable combination of low friction and low wear rate.
