Ceramic materials, or more particularly aluminum oxides, have found application as a practical gas-bearing material because of the dimensional stability, low coefficient of friction, high hardness, and ability to attain good surface finish that these materials possess. This paper reports on an investigation of a number of methods designed to improve the resistance of aluminum oxide to damage from sliding contact, and hence improve the start-stop life characteristics of gas-bearing assemblies. These methods include heat-treatment, neutron irradiation treatment, gold plating, and coating of alumina surfaces by means of a chemical vapor deposition technique, in order to increase the wear resistance of the material. A brief mention is also made of the effect of machining techniques as they relate to the finish, and hence to the wear resistance, of gas-bearing parts.

The method of coatings producing by chemical vapor deposition from gas phase by pyrolysis of organometallic com-pounds of chromium on the aluminum alloy AL9 is described. For the research the “Barhos” liquid with bis-arene chromium organic compounds, containing bis-ethylbenzene chromium (322 ºC boiling point, decomposition temperature of the metal is 330 ºC), was selected. The chromium content in the liquid is not less than 16%.The deposition process depends on the gas-phase chromium: substrate temperature, reactor pressure, evaporator temperature, process duration. The deposition temperature (substrate temperature) is one of the major factors in the formation of coatings. It is determined, that the pyrolytic chromium coatings are characterized by high hardness (up to 16000 MPa) and wear resistance due to the amorphous structure, which allows them to improve the wear resistance of rubbing parts.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have attracted considerable interest for application as protective films in diverse industrial parts. This is attributed to their desirable characteristics, such as high hardness, low coefficient of friction, gas-barrier properties, and corrosion resistance. Antiseizure properties, in addition to wear resistance, are required during the die molding of polymer and polymer-matrix composite parts. Graphite films can be easily peeled because the vertically stacked graphene sheets are bonded via weak van der Waals forces. The present study demonstrates the fabrication of multilayered DLC/Cu films, where the Cu film functions as a catalyst for the formation of a graphite-like layer between the DLC and Cu films. The DLC/Cu film was synthesized on a Si (100) substrate via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and magnetron sputtering. The peelability, wear resistance, microstructure, texture, and cross-section of the film were experimentally analyzed. The results indicated a variation in the peelability with the deposition conditions of the Cu film that comprised particles with diameters of several nanometers. The DLC film at the interface in contact with the Cu film was transformed into a graphite-like state i.e., graphitized. The surface of the multilayered film exhibited antiseizure properties with the peeling of the upper DLC film. The multilayered film also exhibited wear resistance owing to the repeated appearances of a new DLC film. It is expected that the wear-resistant films with antiseizure properties demonstrated in the present study will be utilized in various industrial sectors.
