The internal compressive strain within the carbon turbostratic structure was confirmed through a careful analysis by wide-angle X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Heat-induced strain/stress relaxation along the fiber axis was observed and was found to have a profound effect on the structure of both the crystallites and microvoids. The results indicated that, the relaxation of residual strain changed the graphite layers from a wrinkled and distorted morphology to a straight and smooth one, and consequently led the crystallites to stack closely and orderly with increasing stack height. The strain relaxation also changed the morphology of crystallites and microvoids, resulting in an anisotropic growth for the latters.展开更多

Moreover, the monolayer methane-MCD and acetone-NCD coated drawing dies were fabricated as comparisons. The adhesion and wear rates of the diamond coated drawing dies were also tested by an inner hole polishing apparatus. Compared with mono-layer diamond coated drawing die, the composite diamond coated one exhibits better comprehensive performance, including higher adhesive strength and better wear resistance than the NCD one, and smoother surface(Ra=65.3 nm) than the MCD one(Ra=95.6 nm) after polishing at the same time. Compared with the NCD coated drawing die, the working lifetime of the composite diamond coated one is increased by nearly 20 times.展开更多
