In the present work, it is shown that friction can be used to deposit diamond in a substrate of copper. Here it was found through electronic scan microscopy that a composite material film that varies from 27 to 30 microns depth can be formed. This film has particles from 10 to 1 microns and the concentration of diamond decreases with depth. A change on the crystalline structure caused by temperatures closer to the melting point achieved by the process was also found.
