Gradient DLC-Based nanocomposite coatings as a solution to improve tribological performance of aluminum alloy

The low hardness and poor tribological performance of aluminum alloy as moving component greatly restricts their wide applications in automotive fields. In this letter, an attempt to deposit gradient Ti/TiN/Si/(TiC/a-C:H)multi-layer on aluminum alloy is thus effectively performed by a combined arc i...
