DLC (a-C:H)

DLC (a-C:H)

DLC is an amorphous carbon coating that combines the properties of diamond and graphite to provide strength, wear resistance and low friction, making it ideal for industrial and high-performance applications. It reduces friction and is ideal for protecting components, extending their life and improving operational efficiency. It also prevents the sticking of metal materials (e.g. aluminum) or plastic based ones.

Properties
Applications
Advantages
  • Excellent resistance to wear, which extends the life of components
  • Reduces friction, which improves efficiency and reduces the need for lubricants
  • High strength, which reduces wear even under high loads
Properties
  • Based on amorphous carbon (a-C:H)
  • Friction coefficient of 0.1
  • Possible doping of the top layer with Silicon (a-C:H:Si) for an even lower coefficient of friction (< 0.1)
  • Color: Anthracite
  • Coating application temperature: < 210°C (can be lower by agreement)
  • Maximum processing temperature: > 400 °C
Applications
  • Components for the automotive industry such as pistons, valves and gears
  • Sliding components where wear is present
  • Tools for reshaping and punching aluminum and metals under poor lubrication conditions
  • Where chemical inertness to chemicals is required
  • Components for electronics and optical devices due to low reflection and durability
