Abstract

The physicomechanical and tribological characteristics of DLC coatings was investigated, with using TiN and AlTiN hard coatings as intermediate layers. The tests were carried out both with dry friction and in the environment of PAO-4. It was found that intermediate coatings provide good adhesion of the DLC to steel; the best result was obtained with the AlTiN coating. The main factor determining antifriction properties in the friction pair “steel - coating” with boundary lubrication is tribological properties of coatings.
