In the present study, the effect of
indirect laser texturing on the tribological performance
of diamond like carbon coatings has been investigated.
Micro dimples were created before DLC coating was
deposited. Dimple diameters were changed while
keeping density and depth constant, in order to study the
effect of change in dimension on the coating
performance. The results indicate that optimum surface
texturing parameters reduces the friction and wear at the
contact. Dimple diameter of 100 µm increased the wear
resistance of DLC by lowering the wear particle induced
graphitization.
