Abstract
Reciprocating dry sliding friction tests performed on diamond-coated tungsten substrates produced changes in the surface morphology. A right-cylinder-on-flat geometry was used for the tribotesting. The morphological changes were investigated with scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. The composition of the diamond film was determined with Raman spectroscopy. The frictional response of the coating is examined in relation to the surface changes. A wear model for diamond films in dry sliding contact based on the morphological response is presented.
