APPLICATIONS OF DLC COATINGS
  Due to the high-wear resistance, the low friction and the non-sticking properties, diamond-like coatings have a wide range of applications. A selection of them are listed here below.
  • Moulds (injection, extrusion,...) for the plastic and rubber industry to improve wear resistance and release
  • Wear parts of various machines, for example textile machinery components
  • Metal forming tools to obtain reduced friction and improved durability
  • Shafts
  • Bearings, sliding elements
  • Pump parts
  • Moulds for the food and medical industry
  • Punches
  • Medical devices: surgical knives, pharmaceutical tools, hip prosthesis, implants
  • Protective coatings for the electronic industry: hard disk protection, electro-mechanical contacts, sensor
  • Anti-scratch coatings for optical applications : infrared optics, sunglasses, optical lenses
