Smooth nitride and ta-C coatings

With the Hauzer circular arc technology, you can achieve very high performance coatings with high deposition speeds and low cost of ownership

CARC⁺ Flex

For the deposition of nitride coatings such as TiAlN, AlCrN and Si-containing nanocomposite coatings, CARC⁺ Flex is the designated technology. It also enables state-of-the-art hydrogen-free tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings. CARC⁺ Flex has a programmable magnetic field that produces smooth, tunable coatings and that allows the target erosion to be optimised. In addition, the cathode has been designed for user-friendly operation of the system, including easy maintenance and fast target exchange.

Why Hauzer technology

Hauzer CARC⁺ Flex technology is smooth, fast and reliable, and the only arc technology that can be used to deposit nitride and ta-C coatings.
Other defining characteristics of the CARC⁺ Flex technology:

Programmable magnetic field for target erosion optimisation, for optimal cost of ownership
Tunable coating properties for optimal performance, especially for cutting tool applications
Magnetic field design optimised for refined arc movement, resulting in smooth coatings and reduced need for post-treatment
Cathode designed for easy maintenance and fast target exchange, for user-friendly workflow
