The study reveals that a soft vanadium carbide interlayer and the FCC lattice match lead to a Ta-C film. The results of the graphite inhibition and diamond deposition varied with the steel alloy underlayer composition. In the 316L steel alloy, we successfully formed a thick, compressive strain-induced, sp3-bonded tetrahedral amorphous carbon layer without graphite.
