Characterization of DLC-Coated and Uncoated Surfaces by New Directional Blanket Curvature Covering (DBCC) Method
Roughness and curvature of diamond-like carbon (DLC) surface coatings change with both scale and direction of a measurement. However, the changes are not detected by currently used standard parameters which ar...

An investigation into the effect of substrate on the load-bearing capacity of thin hard coatings
TiN and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings were deposited on Ti substrates with and without processing by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The HPT processing refined the grain size of titanium from the coarse-grai...
