Ionbond TetraBond equipment allows the deposition of extremely hard, non-hydrogenated diamond like carbon coatings (DLC).  

Door to door cycle times, generally under 3.5 hours, are much shorter than most DLC / diamond coating deposition cycles.  

TetraBond can be deposited on both carbide and steel due to low coating deposition temperature (under 150(°)C).

TetraBond coatings are ideal for machining non-ferrous materials such as:  

• High silicon content aluminum alloys
• Aluminum magnesium matrix materials
• Titanium 6Al4V
• Epoxy resins
• Fiberglass and composites
• Plastics
• Graphite
• Copper
• Brass and bronze  

One of the great advantages of TetraBond coatings is that they are suitable for recoating since they can be stripped using a proprietary Ionbond process.
