Disclosed is a method for producing a carbide derived carbon layer with a dimple pattern. The method includes forming a dimple pattern on the surface of a carbide ceramic material and forming a carbide derived carbon layer thereon. Also disclosed is a carbide derived carbon layer with a dimple pattern produced by the method. The carbide derived carbon layer with dimple pattern has high wear resistance, good adhesion to a machine part, and excellent frictional characteristics. The carbide derived carbon layer can be applied to various fields, such as coating of carbide coated and carbide materials. Particularly, the carbide derived carbon layer is suitable for coating of machine parts (e.g., sliding parts, mechanical seals, piston rings, and compressor vanes) where excellent mechanical properties are needed. |
