Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (PACVD), or the combination of both, are used to apply these amorphous carbon coatings and tailor their characteristics to your needs.
DLC coatings deposited via PVD provide excellent wear protection and a low coefficient of friction. PVD can be combined with a PACVD or a plasma nitriding treatment.
Coating applications that require a low temperature can be achieved using Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (PACVD), which operates at significantly lower temperatures than thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
