Study of the wear behavior and adhesion of diamond films deposited on steel substrates by use of a Cr–N interlayer

In the present work, we report on the wear behavior and adhesion of diamond films deposited on steel coated by a Cr–N interlayer. The wear behavior of the diamond films was studied under fretting conditions. Fretting was used as a typical wear process occurring during vibration and friction. Wear gr...

Description
Summary:	In the present work, we report on the wear behavior and adhesion of diamond films deposited on steel coated by a Cr–N interlayer. The wear behavior of the diamond films was studied under fretting conditions. Fretting was used as a typical wear process occurring during vibration and friction. Wear grooves obtained after the fretting test under different loads and for different numbers of cycles were studied by profilometry, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microbeam analysis. The adhesion of the deposited diamond films was measured by using scratch and indentation tests. The fracture behavior of the diamond film/nitrided chromium interlayer complex under different conditions was studied and correlated to the interlayer nitridation conditions.
