Polycrystalline diamond layers were deposited onto the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V via microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD). It is shown that the diamond film reduces wear and friction immensely compared with uncoated titanium/titanium tribo systems. An additional polishing process of the CVD-diamond layer improves the wear behavior even further. An influence of air humidity is found.
In addition, different ceramic materials (Al2O3, SiC, Si3N4, ZrO2) were tested against as-deposited and polished CVD-diamond layers. Al2O3 and Si3N4 exhibit very good wear behavior accompanied by very low friction against as-deposited CVD-diamond. SiC and ZrO2, however, show somewhat inferior wear and friction behavior. Suggestions are made to explain the different performance. Again, a wear increase is found with increasing humidity. Polishing of CVD-diamond layers improves the tribological performance further.
