DE Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings (DLC)
Technology
DLC coating is a metal-containing, amorphous carbon layer. The coating consists of the elements chromium and carbon which are converted into the desired DLC hard coating through a PVD process.
Properties
- Coating thickness: 0.5–2.5 µm
- Adhesion strength: HF 1–3 (DIN 4856)
- Coating Hardness: ~700 HV
- Low friction coefficient
- Reduction of wear and therefore
extension of life-time of tools
Range of Application
- Instruments for orthopaedic use
