Abstract
In this work, molybdenum and tungsten ions were implanted onto the DLC films deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc. We investigated the effects of ion species and doses on carbon related bonding property such as the ratio of sp3 carbon to sp2 phase, the chemical composition and tribological properties of the DLC films in the range of 200 to 600 °C. The oxidation starting temperature decreased with an increasing ion dose and ion mass owing to higher sp2 carbon fraction. Oxidation of the implanted-metal element, however, keeps the DLC film from carbon sublimation by oxidation, offering stable tribological characteristics by covering it with a metal oxide layer at the high temperature.
