To minimize the early formation of graphite and to enhance the diamond film adhesion, a WC-Co coating was used as an interlayer on the steel substrates by high velocity oxy-fuel spraying. The effects of methane content on nucleation, quality, residual stress and adhesion of diamond films were investigated. The results indicate that the increasing methane content leads to the increase in nucleation density, residual stress, the degradation of quality and adhesion of diamond films. Diamond films deposited on high-speed steel （HSS） substrate with a WC-Co interlayer exhibit high nucleation density and good adhesion under the condition of the methane content initially set to be a higher value （4%, volume fraction） for 30 min, and then reduced to 2% for subsequent growth at pressure of 3 kPa and substrate temperature of 800 ℃.展开更多

In this paper1 it is pointed out that the size and spatial distribution density of nucleate sites presented on real boiling surface can be described by the normalized fractal distribution function, and the physical meaning of parameters involved in some experimental correlations proposed by early investigations are identified according to fractal distribution function. It is further suggested that the surface micro geometry characteristics such as the shape of cavities should be described and analyzed qualitatively by using fractal theory.展开更多
