PVD + a-C:H
Our newly developed amorphous carbon coating with the designation a-C:H is particularly suitable for applications that require improved tribology and a reduction in torque. The DLC-like coating also offers a corresponding advantage in lubrication of moving parts.
Thanks to its amorphous structure, the carbon coating offers excellent sliding properties that reduce friction and wear. This leads to an extended service life of components and tools. The coating can be applied to or combined with our existing range of PVD coatings.
This ability to apply our DLC-like carbon coating to existing hard coatings makes it an extremely attractive option for a wide range of industries and applications.
