Where the Carriages Stop

Service Wear of a Diamond-Like Carbon Coating on Compact-Shelving Guide Rails

A research poster from the School of Settled Matters maps service wear on the hydrogenated diamond-like carbon coating of a law library's compact-shelving centre rail at 42 stations after six years of use. Raman I(D)/I(G) and wear depth rise at the rest positions of all twelve carriages, two of them worn through to the steel, while the running sections remain indistinguishable from the off-track reference.
