Diamond-like coatings

Bekaert focuses on the development, marketing, production and sales of Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and Diamond-Like Nanocomposite coatings for a variety of industrial application areas.

These coatings are deposited using a PACVD (plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition) process at a deposition temperature below 200°C. Another deposition technology is also used: PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition).

Bekaert diamond-like coatings differ from other diamond-like coatings thanks to their unique properties - developed with clear understanding of customer needs in specified markets.

Our expertise in the field of diamond-like coatings has benefited many companies from a variety of different industries:

Working closely with those industries Bekaert is extending the horizons of the technology by constantly seeking new applications, solutions and opportunities.

The company has a range of vacuum deposition systems for job and high-volume coating applications and guarantees on-time delivery. The vacuum deposition systems are designed and built by our experienced design engineers.

Bekaert works closely together with its customers in order to find solutions to existing or potential technical problems and where necessary in order to develop new coatings or to modify existing coatings.

Let us work with you to show and explain how Bekaert can improve the efficiency and uptime of your production process !

On request, Bekaert will provide customer references for you to contact.

 

Quality control

For specific applications e.g. race car components, a lot of control is required. This control consists of checking whether the coating meets the customer's requirements as for thickness, adhesion etc.. The most important matter is, however, checking whether the coating meets the quality criteria that Bekaert determines.
