ABSTRACT:
A carbon coating (36) is vacuum arc deposited on a smooth surface of a target (10) which is simultaneously ion beam sputtered. The bombarding ions have sufficient energy to create diamond bonds. Spalling occurs as the carbon deposit thickens. The resulting diamondlike carbon flakes (26) are mixed with a binder or matrix material (40) to form a composite material (42) having improved thermal, electrical, mechanical, and tribological properties when used in aerospace structures and components.
