Tribological coatings minimize friction and wear on components such as those found in automotive engines. Hauzer Techno Coating offers tribological coatings such as DLC, CrN and ta-C for bulk ...

Diamond-like carbon coatings (DLCs) held, and continue to hold, great promise for the improvement in friction and wear resistance of engine parts. The DLC tribofilm is generated by breaking down the ...

Editor's Note: In this second and concluding part of our investigation into coatings for circle track applications, we'll review a couple of pertinent points and then wrap our thoughts around some of ...

Dublin, Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Hydrogen-Free Diamond Like Carbon Coating (DLC) Market by Type (PVD, PACVD), Application (Automobile Components, Tooling Components), and Region ...

It could have profound implications for the efficiency and durability of future engines and other moving metal parts that can be made to develop self-healing, diamond-like carbon (DLC) tribofilms.

Low-friction, low-wear and anti-adhesion properties are the highly desirable characteristics of these coatings, which include diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings as well as nanostructured metal ...

End mills coated with ta-C. Rockwell indent of ta-C coating shows excellent adhesion. “Physical vapor deposition” (PVD) coatings are widely used to treat in cutting tools because of the wear-resistant ...

Mechanical components usually fail from the outside in, with failures starting on the surface eventually affecting the entire component. Examples include wear (abrasion, galling, and erosion), ...

Typical physical-vapor-deposition (PVD) hard coatings are 20 times thinner than a human hair, yet they can drastically improve performance, boost reliability, and extend service lives of tool and ...

Scientists at Argonne have discovered a self-healing, diamond-like material that could revolutionize future automotive engines. “This is a very unique discovery, and one that was a little unexpected,” ...
