Diamond like carbon dlc pvd coatings diamond like carbon dlc coatings are a particular area of expertise for richter precision inc.
Diamond like carbon coating process.
All seven contain significant amounts of sp 3 hybridized carbon atoms.
Dlc exists in seven different forms.
Diamond like carbon dlc is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond dlc is usually applied as coatings to other materials that could benefit from some of those properties.
During the dlc coating phase of the process a carbon carrying gas is introduced into the chamber.
This gas is the source for the amorphous carbon dlc coating.
This process of bonding carbon and hydrogen confers valuable diamond like properties such as mechanical hardness low friction optical transparency and chemical inertness.
If no underlayer is required a dense uniform coating of dlc can be deposited directly to the substrate as well.
Calico diamond like carbon dlc is a dense metastable form of hydrogenated amorphous carbon a c h containing significant sp3 bonding.
The reason that there are different types is that even diamond.
The choice of technology and deposition parameters allow for a wide variety of performance characteristics including hydrogenated and non hydrogenated dlc coatings.
Diamond like carbon dlc coatings exist in several different forms of amorphous carbon materials that display some of the unique properties of diamond.
Dense smooth a c h dlc diamond like carbon coating.
