The invention discloses a hydrophobic
diamond-like
carbon coating and a preparation method thereof. The hydrophobic
diamond-like
carbon coating comprises a
transition layer and an F-DLC layer. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, cleaning the substrate; s2, the
coating chamber is vacuumized and heated, and the
coating chamber and the base body are baked; s3, carrying out
ion etching cleaning on the surface of the substrate; s4, after
etching is completed, a Cr layer or a Ti layer is deposited on the surface of the base body in a magnetron
sputtering mode to serve as a
transition layer; and S5,
inert gas and carbon
tetrafluoride are introduced, the
graphite target is started, and the F-DLC layer is deposited in an arc
ion plating mode. Wherein in the step S5, the ratio of the introduced
inert gas to the carbon
tetrafluoride is 1: 0.3-1: 4, the
cavity pressure of the
coating cavity is 0.1-5.0 Pa, the bias
voltage of the substrate is 20-800 V, and the target current of the
graphite target is 20-400 A. The hydrophobic
diamond-like coating is prepared in an
electric arc ion plating mode, the characteristics that the target material particle energy is improved, the
deposition rate is high, and the film layer compactness is good are achieved, and the prepared coating is better in hydrophobic angle and excellent in anti-sticking performance.
