    Abstract: One broad-beam ion deposition coating method (10) for depositing diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings on the dynamic surfaces of articles subject to adherence difficulties includes the steps of: (12) preliminarily conditioning the dynamic surface for broad-beam ion deposition; (14) inserting the article in a deposition chamber; (16) evacuating the deposition chamber to a predetermined base pressure; (18) ion sputtering conditioning of the dynamic surface by ionizing an inert gas to form an ion beam having a predetermined beam current density and accelerating energy and directing the ion beam onto the dynamic surface; (20) depositing an interface layer on the dynamic surface by ionizing a first gas to form an ion beam having a predetermined beam current density and accelerating energy, and directing the ion beam onto a target to dislodge atoms therefrom, the dislodged atoms depositing on the dynamic surface to form the interface layer; and (22) depositing a DLC coating on the interface layer by ionizing a carbon-base gas to form base gas to form an ion beam having a predetermined beam current density and accelerating energy and directing the ion beam for deposition of carbon ions onto the interface layer to form the DLC coating thereon. Another broad-beam ion deposition coating method (10') is used to deposit DLC coatings on the dynamic surfaces of articles not subject to adherence difficulties and includes steps (12, 14, 16, 18, and 22) as described hereinabove. The broad beam ion deposition coating methods (10, 10') have utility for depositing DLC coatings on the inner and outer raceways and/or bearing elements of a bearing assembly, the faces of the gear teeth of at least one of the intermeshing gears of a gear train, and the flank and land surfaces of the annular microstructures of a rolling die utilized to form detailed heat transfer surfaces in a copper sheeting workpiece which is subsequently utilized to fabricate heat exchanger tubing for air conditioners.
