Abstract

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are an important class of coatings for multiple industries. DLCs are mechanically hard, amorphous, metastable carbonaceous materials. They are applied widely for increased performance of components such as pistons, tappets, and bearings in the automotive field. This chapter will present an overview of DLC coatings, methodologies for their deposition, and mechanical and structural characterization. After these fundamentals have been reviewed, specific case studies on multiscale scratch testing, fretting testing, and impact testing will be presented to evaluate the suitability of different DLC coatings for automotive applications.
