Tribological coatings minimize friction and wear on components such as those found in automotive engines. Hauzer Techno Coating offers tribological coatings such as DLC, CrN and ta-C for bulk ...

Low-friction, low-wear and anti-adhesion properties are the highly desirable characteristics of these coatings, which include diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings as well as nanostructured metal ...

Extra-hard coatings made from diamond-like carbon (DLC) extend the operating lifetime of tools and components. In artificial joints, however, these coatings often fail because they detach. Swiss ...

Mechanical components usually fail from the outside in, with failures starting on the surface eventually affecting the entire component. Examples include wear (abrasion, galling, and erosion), ...
