The strongest surface treatments for metals – Indestructible, durable and low-maintenance

Surface treatments are an important component in modern industrial manufacturing processes. They protect the surface of materials and components against wear, corrosion and other harmful influences. The choice of the right surface treatment depends heavily on the surface requirements. There are many different surface treatments available that can be used as required. In this blog article, we will present the strongest, hardest and most durable surface treatments.

Revolutionise your applications with Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) surface treatments

Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) is known as a very hard yet low-friction surface and is widely used in industry to protect tools, machinery and other surfaces. It is also widely used in medical technology due to its very low risk of tool wear.

DLC has many advantages over conventional surface treatments. On the one hand, it is extremely durable and protects surfaces against corrosion and wear. It is very smooth and with low friction, making it a very good choice for surfaces that are touched regularly. It is also a very environmentally friendly material, as it contains no harmful substances and therefore has no harmful impacts on the environment.

Diamond Like Carbon is a type of carbon used for surface treatments. It consists of a thin layer of amorphous carbon that forms a very smooth and hard surface, which offers very high resistance to wear, scratches and corrosion. It is highly resistant to chemical reactions, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications. It can be applied in various ways, including sputtering, cathode atomization, plasma deposition and much more.

Weld Spatter Resistant (WSR) - The optimal protection against weld spatter

Welding work in industry also increases the need to find products that protect against the harmful effects of welding spatter. One way to do this is to use "weld splatter resistant" materials. Weld Spatter Resistant is one option here.

Weld Spatter Resistant is a form of surface treatment, which involves applying a special coating to prevent weld spatter from forming. This coating is applied to metal surfaces to protect them from corrosion and wear.

Surfaces with Weld Spatter Resistant are extremely durable and can be used in various applications.

It is a simple and low-maintenance surface treatment. It is very cost-effective and a highly efficient solution for protecting against harmful weld spatter.

It offers high resistance to heat, cold and moisture and is also very easy to handle and use.

Low Temperature Black Chrome (LTBC)

Low Temperature Black Chrome is an innovative surface treatment applied at low temperatures. The technology is one of the most modern and efficient methods of surface coating.

Low Temperature Black Chrome creates an extremely resistant and durable black chrome layer. It is particularly suitable for surface treatment on metals such as steel, aluminium and stainless steel. Low Temperature Black Chrome gives the metal greater resistance to abrasion and corrosion, and enables beautiful shades of black to be achieved.

This surface treatment is used on a wide range of surfaces, including metals, plastics and ceramics. It offers very good resistance to corrosion, abrasion and wear. The coating is also very robust and has a very high durability.

Low Temperature Black Chrome offers a number of advantages over other surface treatments. On the one hand, it is easier and faster to use than other methods, as it takes place at low temperatures. Secondly, the coating is extremely robust and has a long service life. The coating is also very resistant to mechanical loads and the effects of chemicals.

Low Temperature Black Chrome is a very efficient and cost-effective solution for surface treatment. It offers a number of advantages, including improved durability, easy application and high resistance to corrosion, abrasion and wear. These factors make it a very attractive option for a wide range of applications.
