Abstract

The present invention aims at improving and upgrading the conventional devices based on the low temperature magnetron sputtering coating devices. Starting from the material systems, the invention provides a new material system and a manufacturing method thereof based on a high molecular weight polyethylene joint cup to solve the poor binding force problem between the film and the matrix, and the problems of easy oxidization and carbonization of high molecular weight polyethylene with low temperature magnetron sputtering technologies at the same time. On the above basis, the ultra-lubrication performance of graphite-like structure films and ultra-hardness of diamond-like structure films are utilized to construct a nano-scale multilayer structure DLC film alternatively coated with a graphite-like film and a diamond-like film. The present invention improves the wear resistance of high molecular weight polyethylene joint cups, and restricts low accuracy of joints due to creeping by constructing a new artificial hip joint cup of ultra-wear-resisting nano-scale multilayer structure DLC film with high hardness and self-lubricating capability.
