Abstract

Diamond is an attractive material for use in many applications where wear and corrosion resistance or high-thermal conductivity are important. Recent developments in the deposition of poly crystalline diamond (and amorphous diamond-like carbon) coatings have opened up a range of new applications. This paper reviews the deposition of diamond and diamond-like carbon coatings, the properties and performance of the materials, and their applications.
