Protective diamond-like carbon (DLC) composite coating was grown on cylindrical steel surface in a simple inclined pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process. Based on this kind of flexible film-synthesis method, mixed deposition was used to generate the gradient interface that could enhance adhesive str...
