Advantages and properties of DLC coatings

Our DLC coating stands out for its ability to reduce friction and extend the life of your components. With a hardness of 1500 to 2500 HV and a very low coefficient of friction. It's perfect for demanding applications such asaerospace and Formula 1. Its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make it ideal for medical equipment and food processing applications. Thanks to its magnetron-assisted plasma deposition and PA-CVD technology, DLC offers superior adhesion and perfect surface quality.

Technologies and applications

Advanced techniques such as PA-CVD and magnetron PVD (used by Thermi-Lyon) enable DLC to be applied, leading to customization according to your specific needs. Precise control of processing parameters ensures unrivalled quality and reproducibility, suitable for fields as diverse as theautomotive, medical,mechanical engineering and plastics industries. This coating is particularly beneficial for parts subject to very high mechanical stress, offering long-lasting protection against wear and seizure.
