Abstract

Tribological behaviour of the Sucaslide diamond-like carbon coating applied to low-alloy steel was studied in this research. Experimental work included the determination of the chemical composition and the evaluation of the microstructure of both the base material and the Sucaslide coating. The methods used in the research were dilatometry and energy dispersive x-ray analysis, mechanical properties measurements, and wear resistance and scratch tests. From the results obtained in experiments, the authors concluded that the Sucaslide DLC coating has very good sliding and abrasion-resistant properties. With regard to these facts, it is possible to recommend the Sucaslide DLC coating for application to the low-alloy steel used in the bearing industry.

Keywords
