DLC HARD

Our DLC HARD coating consists of a hybride process between PVD and PECVD. We achieve an excellent adhesion between the component and the a-C:H DLC coating due to our ultra-smooth HiPIMS metal adhesion layer.

Key performance parameters:

- Overall coating thickness: 2 µm
- Nanohardness: >32 GPa
- Coefficient of friction (RT at 50% humidity): 0.1 - 0.2
- Color: Anthracite
- Maximum application temperature: 350 °C (660 °F)
- Possible process temperature: <180 °C (<360 °F)

DLC PLUS
Our DLC PLUS coating consists of a hybride process between PVD and PECVD. In comparison to our DLC HARD coating, DLC PLUS has an additional top-layer of MoS2 of 0.5 µm. This multilayer stack leads to outstanding coating properties, which are characterized by excellent adhesion to the component, a hard and smooth base layer of a-C:H DLC and a high-end tribological surface finish layer. DLC PLUS reliably protects moving components from tribo-oxidation and cold welding.

Key performance parameters:

- Overall coating thickness: 2.5 µm
- Nanohardness: >25 GPa
- Coefficient of friction (in vacuum): <0.01
- Color: Anthracite
- Maximum application temperature: 350 °C (660 °F)
- Possible process temperature: <180 °C (<360 °F)
