The competent partner for consulting and the production of DLC coatings in many industrial and luxury sectors.
ta-C DLC coating for tools
and wear parts.
Solutions for decorative and
technical applications.
Argor-Aljba develops and produces nanotechnological coatings.
Friction and wear are the main factors limiting the performance and the tool life. Argor-Aljba coatings improve the tool productivity and the quality of finished products; we can coat micro-tools starting from 0.02 mm diameter.
Argor-Aljba has revolutionized ta-C DLC coatings by patenting and using innovative deposition technologies that allow to get very high technical and aesthetic performance.
Thanks to the experience and passion for the luxury sector, we can satisfy the most challenging requests for functional and aesthetic quality and we are always ready to customize our coatings.
We guarantee "passion and competence" to the customer, the center of our daily work. The challenges that our customers submit to us lead us to steadily innovate and to propose cutting-edge solutions to them.
Argor-Aljba, already equipped with arc PVD deposition technologies, filtered arc PVD (patented), PVD sputtering and PACVD, has recently introduced a new coating technology that integrates PACVD with HiPIMS.
This integration, developed in collaboration with Hauzer technicians on Argor-Aljba specifications, allows us to expand the proposal range of coatings, to increase flexibility in production and to offer customers a product with higher wear resistance. Contact us for more information.
On the occasion of the EPHJ fair, held in Geneva from 14 to 17 September 2021, we introduced two new ta-C DLC coatings:
- DLC bleu 84
- DLC arc en ciel 32
We were very satisfied with the interest aroused among the visitors; developed by our R&D department, the two coatings will soon be introduced on the market.
Furthermore, we found that next to our traditional watchmaking and micromechanical customers, some companies active in medtech have shown lot of interest.
We wish to thank all customers and visitors who came to visit us.
Argor-Aljba has increased the range of ta-C DLC coatings by introducing the "Argor Tool" family, specially developed to offer its customers an advantageous price/performance ratio. The coatings belonging to the Argor-Tool family, called dialong®-R, dialong®-G, dialong®-T, are deposited with the arc PVD technology patented by Argor-Aljba and are mainly dedicated to the sector of tools for processing non-ferrous materials.

It is estimated that 20% of all energy produced is used to overcome friction, mainly in industry and transport. The interaction between two surfaces generates friction which causes loss of energy and can also damage the surface itself. Lubricating oils help to decrease the friction coefficient but represent an environmental risk in their own right. A low friction PVD coating, especially a diamond-like carbon coating (DLC), is an excellent solution.
