Diamond Films and Their Tribological Performances
Diamond is the hardest known material. Diamond was initially considered as organic material. Discovery of X-ray diffraction technique and formulation of Brags law helped scientist and technologist to realise that carbon can built different structures like

Preface
One of the most effective ways of enhancing the performance of industrial components is to engineer the surface so as to make them suitable for functions that are different from the primary function of the bulk substrate. Although surface engineering has been practised from the ancient times, the science and technology of surface modification technology has been explored only in last several decades. Major progress in this direction has been achieved only when a significant gain in performance along with financial benefit is realised by practising surface modification te
