Summary: DLC, nanocomposite DLC and nanocompoiste DLC doped with aluminum are deposited on tool steels and their, mechanical properties and tribological performance are evaluated in dry, wet and oil conditions. Results show the nanocomposite DLC is excellent wear resistant coating for engineering applications.
