Using PVD sputtering device, how to deposit a homogeous and thick enough DLC coating on the side of a hollow steel tube? How about inside of a hollow steel ring?
If not possible, is there any other way to accieve this goal?
For sure GD step (means low temperature plasma with C precursor) is able to deposit even on the inside of holes. But take care of the diameter of it, you can be on the edge of too small dimension to start hollow cathodes effect.
