Abstract

The study focuses on the adhesion and friction coefficient of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating on a metallic surface AISI-316L. A DC technique was used in order to develop DLC coatings, while a silicon interface allowed a better adhesion of those coatings, having variations of time during the deposit to allow different thickness in anchoring coating. The adhesion and friction coefficient were measure through Scratching Test while the sheets were analyzed through Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to visualize its surface morphology. Besides, it was used Raman spectroscopy to study sp3/sp2 ratio of DLC coatings. The tests show that the sample with the largest period of time of deposit has a better adhesion and the highest surface roughness.
