BALIQ CARBOS The amorphous carbon coating that goes beyond standard DLC

Oerlikon Balzers’ amorphous hydrogen-free carbon (a-C) BALIQ^® CARBOS coating features an exceptional combination of high hardness, low friction and low roughness.

BALIQ^® CARBOS outperforms hydrogenated DLC coatings in many engineering applications with extreme contact pressures and sliding velocities. With a high proportion of tetrahedral bonds (50-60%), BALIQ^® CARBOS provides substantially higher abrasive wear resistance than standard DLC´s (a-C:H).
