Abstract
Abstract The purpose of the study was to evaluate the properties of diamond-like carbon DLC coatings with ionic liquids and cutting fluid containing zinc aspartate used as lubricants. The DLC coatings (a–C:H) were deposited onto the 100Cr6 steel substrate by physical vapour deposition PVD. The surface morphology testing, cross section and chemical composition analyses of the DLC coatings were performed using the scanning electron microscope, equipped with an EDS microanalyzer. Surface geometry measurements prior to and after tribological tests were performed on a confocal microscope with interferometry. The tribological tests were carried out on an Anton Paar TRB3 tribometer under technically dry friction and lubricated conditions with an ionic liquid, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide and 1–butyl– 3–methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide and cutting fluid with zinc aspartate. The results show that DLC coatings and ionic liquids can significantly reduce resistance to motion.

Diamond-like carbon coatings DLC have attracted a lot of interest in recent years
Summary
Diamond-like carbon coatings DLC have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. Diamond-like coatings have very good physical, chemical [1] and tribological properties, in particular: low friction coefficient, high resistance to wear and high hardness [1, 3,4,5]. DLC is an amorphous, thin film carbon based coating [11] It is a mixture of carbon atoms with sp and sp bonds, which are characteristic for diamond and graphite respectively. The structural properties of all DLC coatings are similar, but their tribological and mechanical properties differ greatly, and this is influenced by the technique and parameters of the deposition process [5]
