AI Technical Summary
Existing diamond-like carbon coatings are prone to failure under high contact stress, high speed operation and high temperature environments. They have insufficient bonding strength, poor thermal stability, and are difficult to balance hardness, toughness and wear resistance, thus failing to meet the service life requirements under harsh working conditions.
By employing substrate-level cleaning and ion etching pretreatment, a Ti-TiC-SiC gradient transition layer and a silicon/boron co-doped nanocomposite functional layer are constructed. Through specific deposition process parameters, a soft-hard alternating nanolayer structure is formed. Combined with a specific dual-element doping strategy, the bonding strength and toughness are enhanced, and the high-temperature graphitization transformation is suppressed.
It improves the bonding strength and fracture toughness of the coating, maintains frictional stability at high temperatures, reduces wear rate, and extends the service life of mechanical parts.
