PACVD, the key to
diamond-like coatings

With PACVD, your Hauzer machine can create smooth, well-adhering DLC coatings with high hardness, low friction and excellent wear resistance

Plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition (PACVD)

PACVD uses a plasma, most often generated by mid-frequency pulsed bias, to crack precursor gases at relatively low temperatures. Using hydrocarbon gases such as acetylene (C₂H₂) can result in highly wear-resistant DLC coatings – a mainstay coating in many industries – which can be doped with Si or other elements to tune the coating characteristics. PACVD DLC plus magnetron sputtering makes a smooth, well-adhering coating stack with high hardness, low friction and excellent wear resistance.

Why Hauzer technology

Hauzer has been the market leader for wear-resistant, low-friction coating solutions for many years. Our machines with PACVD technology can deliver:

Low friction, high hardness, high adhesive or abrasive wear resistance
Compatibility with certain oils or even vacuum

Our long experience in DLC coatings also gives us the expertise to partner with our customers to find the best solution for their specific application.
