This study examined the tribological behavior of a ta-C coating fabricated at a substrate bias of −100 V via filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition. Defects in the ta-C coating were categorized as droplets, pores, and spikes, considering the morphological, structural, and mechanical properti...
