Diamond-like carbon layer with CrN intermediate layer. Resistance to wear with increased load-bearing capacity.

The combination of a diamond-like carbon layer (CERODEM® DLC) and a chromium nitride intermediate layer (CERODEM® CrN) in a multilayer coating system offers a unique synergy of properties that meets the requirements of highly stressed components. The CERODEM® DLC layer is characterised by its outstanding wear resistance and low friction, even under the toughest conditions and high sliding speeds. By minimising frictional losses, this coating is ideal for a wide range of applications where a low-friction surface is crucial.

The CERODEM® CrN intermediate layer acts as a base layer and provides additional wear protection, especially at higher surface pressures. In addition, the CERODEM® CrN layer gives the multilayer system exceptionally good corrosion protection, even in aqueous environments. The combination of these properties creates a high-performance coating system that significantly increases the service life of stressed components.

The outstanding sliding properties of the CERODEM® DLC coating open up a wide range of possible applications. From pumps and compressors, ball bearing housings and rollers to textile machines and mobility applications, numerous branches of industry benefit from the advantages of this coating. By reducing friction and wear, the CERODEM® DLC-CrN multilayer helps to increase the efficiency, reliability and longevity of components, thereby optimising processes and reducing operating costs
