Effect of oil additives on the durability of hydrogenated DLC coating under boundary lubrication conditions
This paper developed the missing knowledge link between fundamental mechanisms and engineering application. It is the first study which discusses the impact of lubricant additives on Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings durability, by testing them in conditions relevant to real engine systems. Methods developed are now adopted by other authors (DOI:10.1016/j.tsf.2009.09.110; DOI:10.1016/j.surfcoat.2011.11.031;DOI:10.1016/j.surfcoat.2010.07.012). - Internationally recognised (this work led to Morina being invited 2009 STLE/expert panel and keynote presentation/2009 World Tribology Congress). This research led to follow-on funding: EC/NMP/2020Interface and two PhD projects (Infineum/£81k/Emmanuel.Laine@Infineum.com; Afton/£85k/Alisdair.Brown@AftonChemical.com). The PhD candidate (Haque/tabassumul.haque@exxonmobil.com) successfully graduated and is now employed in ExxonMobil, USA.
