Introdution

Carbo Tech offers consulting and coatings which primarily serve to make metal elements resistant to abrasion produce less friction or a combination of both. This can serves as an alternative to solid elements in ceramics or hardened metals.

Keronite

This process is a new chemical-electrolytic method for ceramic coating of aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys. The technique entails changing the surface to a ceramic material which gives softer materials strength far in excess of hardened steel as well as reducing friction.

This patented process has become so popular that a plant dedicated to this process was established in Denmark on 1. March 2004.

PVD/CVD

PVD/CVD coatings are applied in vacuum and are ultra thin (0.5 – 5 micrometre). The coating does not alter the object's geometry but lends to it more resistance to abrasion, corrosion as well as reducing surface friction.

The most relevant coatings are as follows:

· DLC (diamond like carbon) is a PVD thin film coating. For more information, click: Diarc

· Maxit. PVD sputtering. A flexible technique with a wide range of options concerning coating material. For more information, click: Maxit

· Tantaline (tantalum metal). For more information, click: Tantaline

· HARDIDE. The only CVD coating able to be applied on the inside of holes. For more information, click: Hardide

Nedox

Nedox is a chemical coating where a nickel and PTFE film is created on the surface of the object. This creates a surface very resistant to abrasion and with low friction. The coating is dense and corrosion resistant.

Composite coating

A range of products that is smeared on to objects. The composite applies a thick layer – typically around 250 micrometres – on to the treated object, which gives it a strong surface. Several of the products contain ceramic fillers.
