Abstract
In this work, diamond-like carbon (DLC) films are coated onto plasma nitrided AISI 4140 steel by DC-pulsed PECVD. One problem of DLC films is their very poor adhesion on steel substrates. The purpose of the nitriding was to enhance adhesion between the substrate and the DLC films. The white layer formation is avoided. Plasma nitriding increased adhesion from 8 N for DLC coating to 25 N for duplex coating. Duplex plasma nitriding/DLC coating was proven to be more effective in improving the adhesion. The purpose of the bond layer was to enhance adhesion between the substrate and the DLC films.
