Abstract

A great deal of attention has been paid to friction and wear caused by current-carrying friction. In this study, diamond coatings were deposited on the cemented carbides (WC-Co) substrate by hot filament chemical vapor deposition method. Although the diamond coating possessed a higher roughness than the WC-Co substrate, it was effective at reducing the friction coefficient and improving the effectiveness of WC-Co in the current-carrying friction process. In the presence of 1 A, the diamond coating exhibited a lower friction coefficient than the WC-Co matrix, and the diamond transformed into graphite as a result. The results show that diamond-coated surfaces have a better wear condition than WC-Co.
