Abstract
The paper presents the results of research of DLC coating of a - C:H type obtained by using a technique of physical vapor deposition (PVD) on the surface of CoCrMo alloy, commonly used for the elements of the endoprosthesis. The surface has been observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Analysis of the chemical composition and distribution of the different elements were performed using glow discharge optical emission spectrometry analysis (GDOES). It has been shown that the DLC elements are characterized by high hardness and good adhesion to the substrate.
