ArgoraDLC is a-C:H coating deposited using PACVD technology at a temperature of approximately 190°C with a standard thickness of 2-3 µm (customised thicknesses are available on request). Argor aDLC coating has a sp3 percentage (typical of natural diamond) of between 40 and 60% and is highly appreciated for its technical (hardness, scratch resistance) and aesthetic characteristics, even on complex-shaped components that cannot be coated with common PVD processes.

All data given are approximate values, depending on application, environment and test conditions. Coating hardness HIT [GPa] Measured by nano indentation according to ISO 14577. The hardness can be adapted to the application. Coefficient of friction (dry) versus steel determined by dry disc ball test with a steel ball according to ASTM G99. These values may be exceeded during run-in. Maximum service temperature [°C] These are approximate values.
PACVD process developed by Argor-Aljba to ensure a homogeneous coating on surfaces with a complex shape.
Increased efficiency of pump and compressor components through reduced energy consumption.
Resistant to chemical products and acid and alkaline solvents and is hypoallergenic.
Argor aDLC can be removed by a decoating process designed directly by Argor-Aljba.
