Method of Applying DLC Coating on Aluminum Alloys

A method was developed for applying a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on aluminum alloys to obtain sufficient adhesion strength and wear resistance. The key points of this technology consist of two main processes. First, the surface of the aluminum substrate is modified by forming a top layer of d...
