2. Diamond-like carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon

   A Co-alloy valve part from a producing oil well (30 mm diameter), coated on the right side with ta-C, in order to test for added resistance to chemical and abrasive degradation in the working environment. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. DLC is usually ...

3. Non-stick surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

   Cast iron, carbon steel, [1] stainless steel [2] and cast aluminium cookware [citation needed] may be seasoned before cooking by applying a fat to the surface and heating it to polymerize it. This produces a dry, hard, smooth, hydrophobic coating, which is non-stick when food is cooked with a small amount of cooking oil or fat.

4. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

   Stainless steel is considered stainless because it has at least 11% chromium by mass. Chromium is a relatively inert metal and does not rust or react as easily as plain carbon steel. This is what makes it an exceptional material for cooking.

5. Seasoning (cookware) - Wikipedia

7. Superhard material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhard_material

   It is unclear whether the synthesis products are diamond-like solid solutions between carbon and boron nitride or just mechanical mixtures of highly dispersed diamond and c-BN. In 2001, a diamond-like-structured c-BC 2 N was synthesized at pressures >18 GPa and temperatures >2,200 K by a direct solid-state phase transition of graphite-like (BN ...

9. Amorphous carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_carbon

   In mineralogy, amorphous carbon is the name used for coal, carbide-derived carbon, and other impure forms of carbon that are neither graphite nor diamond. In a crystallographic sense, however, the materials are not truly amorphous but rather polycrystalline materials of graphite or diamond [2] within an amorphous carbon matrix. Commercial ...
