BS ISO 18535:2016

This standard BS ISO 18535:2016 Diamond-like carbon films. Determination of friction and wear characteristics of diamond-like carbon films by ball-on-disc method is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.220.01 Surface treatment and coating in general

This International Standard specifies a procedure for and provides guidance on the determination of the coefficient of friction and the specific wear rate of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. The method specifies that the materials are tested under dry conditions in pairs in a ball-on-disc configuration.

The results of the tests are not applicable when DLC-coated parts operate in a lubricated environment.
