The Deposition of SilCor® DLC

The Deposition of SilCor® DLC is performed by means of a plasma-discharge in carbon-containing gases (so-called Plasma-CVD). The process itself is a complete new technology developed by PT&B. This process results in a variety of superior features of this special DLC coating:
  • excellent adhesion of the coating to all metals as:
    braze, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, high speed steel etc.
  • deposition at typical temperatures as low as 120 oC (minimum 60 oC)
  • coating of complex geometries, inner coatings of bore-holes and grooves

The coatings are - quite in contrats with known PVD coatings - completely smooth and dense.

Presently, the technology installed at PT&B permits homogenous coating of tools and machine parts of the following maximum dimensions by SilCor® DLC:
950 mm length / 450 mm diameter / 100 kg weight.

(Scaling up these dimensions by a multiple - on request by customers - is possible.)
