Abstract
The tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings are deposited on piston rings to improve the tribological property of the piston ring-cylinder liner system of the internal combustion engines. The deposition parameters are optimized by molecular dynamics simulation to reduce the cost of coatings’ fabrication. The ta-C coatings with higher sp3 fraction, lower friction coefficient, and superior anti-wear properties are achieved by optimizing the incident energy and substrate temperature of carbon atoms. The second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method potential and Tersoff potential are used to describe the interatomic interactions. The effects of the incident energy of the carbon atoms and substrate temperature on the deposition properties of the ta-C coatings are discussed. The numerical results show that the ta-C coatings with high sp3 fraction, high density, and good interface mixing are obtained, and the deposition properties of the ta-C coatings are improved.
