Harsh Sliding Wear of a Zirconia Ball against a-C:H Coated CoCrMo Disc in Hyaluronic Gel
The a-C:H (amorphous carbon-hydrogen) films belong to the family of DLC (diamond-like carbon) coatings.The a-C:H coating was deposited on medical grade CoCrMo substrates by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PA-CVD) using benzene as gaseous precursor.Benzene offers an aromatic read more structure, which affects the a-C:H properties after pl
