PVD Coatings
eifeler’s cutting-edge Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coatings redefine the standards for durability, performance, and reliability in industrial applications. PVD coatings represent a vital process in combating abrasion, corrosion, and friction, addressing the most demanding wear scenarios across diverse industries. Our innovative coatings not only enhance product functionality and longevity but also revolutionize manufacturing processes by minimizing tool downtime and maximizing productivity.
PVD, a sophisticated vacuum coating technique, involves depositing thin films of material onto components and tools through arc vapor deposition at temperatures exceeding 450°C. This method ensures a robust bond between the coating and the substrate, preserving hardness and creating a formidable barrier within the microstructure of the base material. The result is unparalleled surface protection that withstands the harshest operating conditions.
Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings represent the pinnacle of advanced surface engineering, offering exceptional durability, hardness, and versatility across a wide range of applications. At Eifeler, we harness the power of DLC coatings to provide cutting-edge solutions that surpass traditional coating technologies.
DLC coatings, composed of amorphous carbon with sp3 and sp2 hybridized bonds, exhibit properties akin to natural diamonds, including high hardness, low friction, and excellent wear resistance. This unique combination of characteristics makes DLC coatings ideal for demanding applications where superior performance is non-negotiable.
Advantages:
- Possible combinations with friction reducing layers
- Variable coating structure (nanostructures, multi-layer, monolayer)
- Decoating by chemical and mechanical means
- Very good adhesion on the substrate
- Very good reproduction of textured and polished surfaces
- Very good maintenance of dimensional accuracy and contour-true coating
- No hardness reduction
- No influencing of the crystalline structure of the steel with suitable material selection
- An overall world-class selection of abrasion resistant PVD & DLC coatings
