Abstract
Results of studying the growth of diamond structures on steel specimens with the use of intermediate layers of molybdenum or tungsten carbide cemented by cobalt are reported. The interlayers are deposited by means of detonation spraying. Subsequent deposition of diamond films onto the clad steel specimens is formed by the gas jet method and a special thermocatalytic reactor with extended activating surfaces. The nucleation process on the interlayer surfaces is intensified by preliminary seeding of the specimens in a colloid solution containing nanodiamonds. Information about the phase and structural composition of the resultant specimens and about the film surface morphology is obtained by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The tribology of the specimens is studied with the use of hardness nansensors and by the Rockwell hardness indentation method.
