Abstract

Comparative wear data for unimplanted and implanted (50 keV, 5 × 1015 N+ cm−2) glassy carbon (GC) and pyrolytic carbon (PC) are reported. The implanted GC is about 120 times more resistant to diamond abrasion than unimplanted GC and at least 10 times more resistant than PC. In sliding tests, using a ruby ball as the abrader, the implanted GC is almost unaffected for the conditions employed (50 g load, 30,000 revs) compared with the unimplanted GC and unimplanted PC each of which endured measurable wear. The reasons for the enhancement of wear resistance and the ease with which 1–2 μm thick layers may be produced are discussed.
