Abstract

The tailoring of thin film coatings comprised of high strength constituents, such as diamond like carbon and partially stabilized zirconia and ductile constituents, such as gold and molybdenum is investigated by new microstructurally-based finite-element techniques for applications related to the wear, durability, and performance of these coatings over a broad range of temperatures and loading conditions. The effects of contact transfer films, grain-shape sizes and distributions, grain-boundary structure and sliding, texture, and strength are used to determine the optimal thin film coating compositions. Comparisons are made with experimental measurements and observations, and guidelines for optimal thin film composite coatings are proposed.
