Advanced Tribological Characterization of DLC Coatings Produced by Ne-HiPIMS for the Application on the Piston Rings of Internal Combustion Engines

Piston rings (PR) are known for almost a quarter of the friction losses in internal combustion engines. This research work aims to improve the tribological performance of PR by a recently developed variant of Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coatings deposited in a mixture of Ar and Ne plasma atmosphere (N...
