             abstract = "In this work, very adherent Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) films were 
                         deposited over stainless steel substrate by plasma enhanced 
                         chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). DLC films are potential 
                         materials for several applications in petroleum, aeronautic and 
                         automotive industries such as lubricant and protective layer of 
                         hard and anti-corrosive coating in oil pipelines; actuators for 
                         applications in chassis as friction inhibitors; micromechanical 
                         devices and electronics through the lithography; biomechanical 
                         implants in the prosthetic and so on. The influence of stainless 
                         steel pretreatment before DLC deposition was characterized by 
                         Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, line scan EDX and optical 
                         perfilometer. The results show some changes in stainless steel 
                         structure during the various stages of pre-treatment. These stages 
                         are closely re-lated to good adhesion of DLC film. The roughness 
                         also has an influence on the film adhesion, which showed 
                         differences before and after the deposition. The relaxation of 
                         residual stress between substrate and the film is an important 
                         consideration on the adhesion. Thus carbon combined with other 
                         chemical elements present on the surface can provide the 
                         relaxation of stress between film and substrate. Similarly, it is 
                         possible to reduce the carbon catalysis by iron present in the 
                         substrate favoring the formation of the DLC film on stainless 
                         steel substrates.",
