Diamond-like carbon films. Determination of friction and wear characteristics of diamond-like carbon films by ball-on-disc method. | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This International Standard specifies a procedure for and provides guidance on the determination of the coefficient of friction and the specific wear rate of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. The method specifies that the materials are tested under dry conditions in pairs in a ball-on-disc configuration. The results of the tests are not applicable when DLC-coated parts operate in a lubricated environment.
