By utilizing plasma energy of PVD method , DLC film
is formed by resolving hidro-carbon gas. DLC coating whose characteristics
features very hard but thin film consists of Carbon atom as Diamond
dose .
Features
Typical Applications
Excellent hardness, Hv = from 3000 to 5000
Low treatment temperature (200°C or less), virtually eliminating
thermal deformation
Very smooth surface and the lowest coefficient of friction
Low adhesion to the material used in powder compress molding
High adhere resistance for soft metals
Many kinds of powder molds
Parts for semiconductor manufacturing
Molds and cutting tools for Aluminum , Copper and Brass
Parts requiring adhere resistance
Medical equipment such as stents
Application coating films
with strengthened characteristics by changing composition of
