PVD Coatings

The PVD hard material coating is carried out by eifeler almost exclusively by means of arc vapor deposition (electric arc vapor deposition ) with temperatures < 450 degrees centigrade. With the arc process technology, an excellent adhesion is achieved without hardness loss, distortion or change of the microstructure of the base material. The PVD sputter technology is employed with the DLC layer SUCASLIDE®, CARBON-X® and the solid lubricant layer MoST. The pvd coatings are applied here at approx. 200° centigrade.

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
