CERTESS® CARBON
SURFACE TREATMENT FOR TRIBOLOGICAL USE
CARBON layers correspond to DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coatings for
tribological use. These coatings usually consist of several sub-layers
of different materials: Cr, CrN, WC, WCC, combined with a top layer of
hydrogenated (a-C:H) or non-hydrogenated (ta-C) amorphous carbon.
Complete global footprint rending mass production service, tribology experts for over 60 years, extensive knowledge of surface engineering, interactions and failure-mechanisms allow us to provide solutions to the most demanding applications.
