Hardcoating / DLC

Thin wear protection and hard material layers can only fulfill the present challenges when the overall composite is best aligned to the necessities.

The surface of highly stressed components and tools is like the human skin and the contact area to the rough environment. Wear, crack formation and corrosion always proceed from the surface and destroy the whole tool or component after all. If you protect the surface, you protect the component and ensure in this way a long lifespan.

Therefore, at Rübig we advise you with reference to steel selection, heat treatment, nitriding, surface quality and the right hard material coating.

By using our PACVD technology (PACVD ... plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition) we provide you with thin layers with which you can obtain the following improvements:

• increased resistance to wear and tear
• incresed resistance to corrosion
• improvement of sliding characteristics
• improvement of  release properties
• reduction of form covering and overlays
• protection of polished and structured tool surfaces
