Beschreibung
Since their initial discovery, diamond-like carbon films have enjoyed an overwhelming interest from both the scientific and industrial communities. There now exist reliable models, computer simulations and experimental findings that clearly demonstrate their exceptional friction and wear properties. Tribology of Diamond-like Carbon Films discusses the most important structural, chemical, mechanical and tribological characteristics of DLC films, and emphasizes their applications in mechanical systems ranging in size from nano/micro (like MEMS, NEMS) to macro scale devices (like bearings, gears, aerospace mechanisms, various engine parts and components). The chapters of this book are particularly dedicated to the fundamental tribological issues that impact the performance and durability of these coatings in numerous industrial applications including automotive, microelectronic, aerospace, biomedical, and manufacturing.
Written by some of the most prominent world experts representing academia, national laboratories, and industrial companies, Tribology of Diamond-like Carbon Films is an important book for researchers and engineers.
Despite being in the spotlight for a very long time; there is no such book that is dedicated to the Tribology and applications of DLC films. Both scientifically and industrially, interest in these films has grown rapidly in recent years and this trend is expected to grow even further with increasing industrial applications. This book contains some of the most relevant and fundamental information on the Tribology and applications of DLC films. It also provides reliable and up-to-date information on different DLC coatings and their tribological properties which are available for use in various industrial applications. Written by pioneering experts in the field from academia, industry and research laboratories, this comprehensive volume covers theoretical, experimental and practical aspects of DLC films.
Provides reliable and up-to-date information on available industrial DLC coatings Includes clear definitions and descriptions of various DLC films and their properties Covers some of the most important tribological findings on DLC films and emphasizes their application in mechanical systems ranging in size from nano/micro to meso/macro scale devices Includes contributions from some of the most prominent world experts representing academia, national laboratories, and industrial companies Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
