By combining the laser deposition process with the laser tempering process, ANTACON GmbH from Mittweida has succeeded in producing extremely hard DLC coatings with low internal stresses. The mechanical properties of these coatings can be analyzed quantitatively using Anton Paar’s ultra-nano hardness test. Indentation hardnesses of up to HIT = 61GPa were measured. Download Whitepaper
Press releaseIQ Innovation Award in the Automotive Cluster: Extremely durable coating protects tools and machine parts from wearThe wear and tear caused by friction on machine parts and tools is particularly high in vehicle manufacturing. Antacon GmbH, based in Mittweida, Saxony, has developed a process with which super-hard carbon coatings can be applied for the…

Super-hard and stress-free ta-C coatings for wear protection
From the laboratory into practice
New Excimer Process Rapidly Creates Super Hard DLC Films at Low Temperatures. New Excimer Process Rapidly Creates Super Hard DLC Films at Low Temperatures The ChallengeDiamond-like (DLC) carbon is widely used to form highly wear-resistant coatings. But current DLC coating methods suffer from various drawbacks. For example, tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) is a desirable hydrogen-free…
