Category: DLC Certess Coating

CERTESS®CARBON DCX DLC Coating

Description

CERTESS®CARBON DCX is a dense, metastable form of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) containing significant SP3 bonding. This process of bonding carbon and hydrogen confers valuable 'diamond-like' properties such as mechanical hardness, low friction, optical transparency and chemical inertness. CERTESS®CARBON DCX also has an amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) layer with a standard metallic sublayer for standard application.
