  • Publication number: 20210254206
    Abstract: A ball and a valve seat for a fuel injector, and a method for coating the same are provided to form a Ta—C:H—SiO functional layer having a low frictional characteristic as the outermost layer to reduce a frictional coefficient. A Mo-based material is applied to a bonding layer and a supporting layer for bonding and supporting the Ta—C:H—SiO functional layer is applied to a base material to improve heat resistance. Accordingly, only pure ionic Mo particles are deposited to form the bonding layer and the supporting layer, thereby increasing an adhesive force and a bonding force to improve durability.
