Tribobond™ 42 DLC
DLC coating for highly loaded industrial components and high volume automotive applications
Ionbond’s Tribobond™ 42 DLC, CrN + a-C:H, coating is engineered for very highly loaded components. It combines a high load carrying capacity and fatigue resistance with a high wear resistance and still exhibits very low friction properties. Tribobond™ 42 DLC presents an excellent performance on valve train (e.g. tappets) and crank train components (e.g. piston pin/ring). State of the art common rail and unit injector components are protected with Tribobond™ 42 in order to improve the robustness and lifetime of fuel pump and fuel injection system. Apart from automotive, multiple components of industrial machinery benefit from Tribobond™ 42 through reduction of wear and friction, thus extending their lifetime and maintenance intervals. The coating shines in particular in applications with marginal lubrication and high loads.
Performance
Ionbond’s Tribobond™ 42 DLC is especially designed to run under combined rolling and sliding situations. It combines properties of extreme fatigue resistance, a very low coefficient of friction, and high wear resistance within one coating system. In operation, this coating architecture provides ext-reme protection of the coated part, as well as the counterpart. In industrial applications Tribobond™ 42 is widely used for wear applications in aerospace, oil and gas, power generation, racing and other industries.
