SUCASLIDE® -T Friction reduced. Performance maximized.
SUCASLIDE®‑T is an advanced DLC coating with specifically increased hardness and greater layer thickness
compared to the SUCASLIDE® coating. The increased hardness ensures significantly improved abrasive wear resistance.
The specific layer structure shifts the maximum load under mechanical stress outside the interface area. This significantly reduces the risk of stress cracks and layer spalling, which leads to increased operational safety and service life, especially in highly stressed applications.
SUCASLIDE®‑T is characterized by excellent sliding properties that significantly exceed those of conventional
hard PVD coatings. SUCASLIDE®-T can demonstrate its strengths in both dry machining and applications with minimum quantity lubrication.
The coating is particularly suitable for low-tempered steels and, due to the low process temperature of around
200°C, can also be deposited on temperature-sensitive substrates.
