Tetrabond™ DLC

Non-hydrogenated Tetrabond™ DLC Coating

Tetrabond DLC is highly suited for machining abrasive materials such as graphite and high silicon content (>12%) aluminium alloys, composite materials and PEEK.

For complex tool geometries and a broad range of carbides

The thin, extremely hard coating is designed to maintain maximum cutting edge sharpness. Tetrabond can be applied to complex tool geometries, brazed tooling and can be deposited on carbides and HSS materials. Its very low coefficient of friction exhibits excellent performance in machining a wide range of sticky materials.
