Abstract
null null In this study we investigate the correlation between the wetting, the contact angle, the spreading, the surface energy and the surface tension for five types of DLC coatings (doped, non-doped, hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated) and steel, wetted with synthetic, non-polar, polyalphaolefin (PAO) oils with two distinctly different viscosities. We show how these parameters correlate with each other and how and why they change when...
