A study about coating on carbon steel by plasma technique aims to determine the variation of time and pressure on the hardness and corrosion strength of a material. The material used in this research was carbon steel with carbon chest of 0.245%. This carbon steel was a plasma technique process with a temperature of 300oC and various pressure variations, such as 1.2 mbar; 1.4 mbar; 1.6 mbar; 1.8 mbar; And 2.0 mbar. The highest hardness was found at 1.8 mbar pressure, which was 161.7 VHN. Then set with a temperature of 300oC and a pressure of 1.8 mbar and a time variation, which were 1 hour; 1.5 hours; 2 hours; 2.5 hours; 3 hours. The largest hardness value was obtained at 3 hours with a hardness value of 161.7 VHN. Then the corrosion test obtained the optimum value at 2 hours with a corrosion value of 0.69 mpy. This was because on the surface of carbon steel there was a layer of Diamond Like Carbon (DLC).

The long-term corrosion strength properties for the carbon steels under pressurized water atmosphere have been investigated, in the conjunction with the detailed analysis of their microstructures. The corrosion test for carbon steels was carried out at the temperature of 200°C under a water pressure of 10 MPa. The corrosion test samples were maintained up to 50 weeks in the tube shaped reactor. The mechanical strength and the microstucture of carbon steels suffered from the long term corrosion test were evaluated by SEM, XRD and tensile test. The weight loss of carbon steel by the corrosion test was also examined. The tensile strength of carbon steels decreased with the increase of corrosion time under a pressurized water atmosphere, accompanying the creation of severe corrosion damages like stress corrosion crack.

Influence of temperature on the anti-corrosive properties of a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, produced using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on the S355 steel substrate (S355/DLC), was investigated. Corrosion test of the materials were carried out using the electrochemical method. The corrosive environment was an alkaline solution of sodium chloride. The heat treatment of the materials was carried out in air atmosphere, at 400 and 800 °C. It was demonstrated that the DLC coating effectively protected the S355 steel surface from coming into contact with an aggressive corrosive environment. It was found, based on a corrosion test after a heat treatment at 400 °C, that the anti-corrosive properties of the DLC coating did not undergo significant changes. Due to the changes in the surface structure of S355/DLC, the microhardness (HV) of the DLC layer increased. However, after a heat treatment at 800 °C, the carbon coating on the S355 steel surface was destroyed and, thus, lost its protective effect on the substrate.

We evaluated the adhesion, friction characteristics, durability against bodily acids, sterilization, cleaning, and anti-reflection performance of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings formed as a surface treatment of intracorporeal medical devices. The major coefficients of friction during intubation in a living body in all environments were lower with DLC coatings than with black chrome plating. DLC demonstrated an adhesion of approximately 24 N, which is eight times stronger than that of black chrome plating. DLC-coated samples also showed significant stability without being damaged during acid immersion and high-pressure steam sterilization, as suggested by the results of durability tests. In addition, the coatings remained unpeeled in a usage environment, and there was no change in the anti-reflection performance of the DLC coatings. In summary, DLC coatings are useful for improving intracorporeal device surfaces and extending the lives of medical devices.

ABSTRACTWe report on a recently commercialized Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that has been deposited on polycarbonate at near room temperature, via a unique ion beam system. Aspects of high speed impact behavior, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and thermal stability of the coating are examined. Results of scanning electron microscopy studies indicate that adhesion of the DLC coating is very good; no delamination of the coating was found on ballistically tested specimens. The well-bonded DLC coating did not cause the impact performance of polycarbonate to become brittle. Chemical exposure test results show that the DLC coating is capable of protecting polycarbonate from chemical attack by aggressive organic liquids. These ion beam deposited DLC coatings have considerable potential as protective coatings for optical systems.

The influence of burnishing conditions on the burnishing force in the inclined roller burnishing method, which was developed by the authors, is investigated. The wear behaviors of non-coated and TiN- and Diamond-Like-Carbon-coated rollers and the effect of the coated roller on the inclined roller burnishing were also investigated. A round bar of carbon steel and an aluminum-based alloy were used as the workpiece material. The burnishing force was measured by a strain-gauge type 3-component dynamometer. The burnishing force component, which acts in the circumferential direction of the workpiece, increased with increasing inclination angle of the roller. Improvement of the tool life of the roller was obtained with a TiN-coated roller on which nitriding treatment of the base roller was performed prior to TiN coating. A satisfactory burnished surface was obtained by burnishing with the DLC-coated roller.

Two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) diamond-like carbon (DLC) stamps for ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography were fabricated with two methods: namely, a DLC coating process, followed by focused ion beam lithography; and two-photon polymerization patterning, followed by nanoscale-thick DLC coating. We used focused ion beam lithography to fabricate 70 nm deep lines with a width of 100 nm, as well as 70 nm deep lines with a width of 150 nm, on 100 nm thick DLC layers coated on quartz substrates. We also used two-photon polymerization patterning and a DLC coating process to successfully fabricate 200 nm wide lines, as well as 3-D rings with a diameter of 1.35 μm and a height of 1.97 μm, and a 3-D cone with a bottom diameter of 2.88 μm and a height of 1.97 μm. The wafers were successfully printed on an UV-NIL using the DLC stamps without an anti-adhesive layer. The correlation between the dimensions of the stamp's features and the corresponding imprinted features was excellent.

Despite high interest in the issues of hemocompatibility of titanium implants, particularly those made of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy, the applied methods of surface modification still do not always guarantee the physicochemical properties required for their safe operation. The factors that reduce the efficiency of the application of titanium alloys in the treatment of conditions of the cardiovascular system include blood coagulation and fibrous proliferation within the vessel’s internal walls. They result from their surfaces’ physicochemical properties not being fully adapted to the specifics of the circulatory system. Until now, the generation and development mechanics of these adverse processes are not fully known. Thus, the fundamental problem in this work is to determine the correlation between the physicochemical properties of the diamond like carbon (DLC) coating (shaped by the technological conditions of the process) applied onto the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy designed for contact with blood and its hemocompatibility. In the paper, microscopic metallographic, surface roughness, wettability, free surface energy, hardness, coating adhesion to the substrate, impendence, and potentiodynamic studies in artificial plasma were carried out. The surface layer with the DLC coating ensures the required surface roughness and hydrophobic character and sufficient pitting corrosion resistance in artificial plasma. On the other hand, the proposed CrN interlayer results in better adhesion of the coating to the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy. This type of coating is an alternative to the modification of titanium alloy surfaces using various elements to improve the blood environment’s hemocompatibility.
