You are already at the latest version Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are widely used to improve corrosion resistance, but the same coating can behave very differently depending on the metal substrate. This study focuses on how the substrate affects coating performance. Titanium-doped (Ti-DLC) and tungsten-doped (W-DLC) films were deposited by magnetron sputtering using the same process. Both were deposited on two substrates: 316L stainless steel and Ti6Al4V.
