Abstract

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating with high mechanical properties, excellent corrosion and wear resistances is an ideal protective material to enhance the metal pipe internal surface under the condition of corrosion and friction. In the present investigation, compact and uniform multilayer DLC-Si coatings were prepared on the internal surface of 6063 aluminum pipe by hollow cathode plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Compared with 6063 aluminum pipe, the DLC-Si coatings exhibited better mechanical properties, and its hardness and elastic modulus are 13.7 ± 0.7 GPa and 110 ± 0.9 GPa, respectively. The results of potentiodynamic polarization experiments and neutral salt spray measurements demonstrated that the DLC-Si coatings exhibited better anti-corrosion properties. In particular, the corrosion current density of DLC-Si coating is three orders of magnitude lower than that of the original aluminum pipe. Moreover, the DLC-Si coating fundamentally reduced the friction coefficients and wear rates of aluminum pipe internal surface in the open air, deionized water and PAO 40 Oil. Consequently, the multilayer DLC-Si coating provided by this research effectively improves the service life of 6063 aluminum pipes.
