Holding a deep black color, Industrial Hard Carbon is an amorphous matrix created from layers of nano-crystalline diamond and nano-crystalline silicon carbide. The unique combination of these elements gives Industrial Hard Carbon its various properties, which sets it apart from other DLC coatings on the market. And because IHC is conformal to substrates, it deposits evenly over all surfaces of a part or product.; IHC is characterized by extreme hardness, high wear resistance, high corrosion resistance, and high lubricity. Its hardness is less than or equal to 8.1 HM, and it operates from -200°C to less than 350°C, significantly reduces wear resistance, protects the underlying substrate from most corrosive agents, can withstand less than 46,000psi tensile and compressive stresses, and compressive strain of 0.17%.; Further, Industrial Hard Carbon's thermal conductivity is less than 10W/cm.K, and its electrical resistivity is less than 109 ohm.cm, doping options to lower. This DLC coating showed a significant reduction in coefficient of friction in lab tests and required torque in field applications compared to bare metal.; Industrial Hard Carbon's qualities can only be surpassed by pure diamond and because of this, IHC's diamond-like coating succeeds where other thin-film coatings fail.; IHC is capable of handling extreme conditions such as altitudes and temperatures, allowing it to be flexible in many different applications. This DLC coating is already being used in the following industries: oil and gas, industrial, textiles, motorsports, chemical, cutting tools, electronics, aerospace, painting, and packaging.
