Tribobond™ 48 ta-C

Hydrogen-free DLC coating for high tempera-


ture applications
Tribobond™ 48 ta-C is a hydrogen-free DLC coating with an increased tem-
perature resistance of up to 400 °C compared to 250 °C for hydrogenated
DLC coatings. Typical applications thus include high-loaded mechanical
components, which further benefits from the increased wear resistance and
the reduced coefficient of friction of the coating. The coating also exhibits
an improved wettability with oils, gasoline and diesel fuels.

Tribobond™ 48 ta-C has been thoroughly tested on valve train (e.g. tappets)
and crank train (e.g. piston pin / ring) components as well as injection sys-
tems and pumps, where it has shown to significantly improve the robust-
ness and to increase the lifetime of the parts involved.

Performance
When combined with specifically formulated oils, Tribobond™ 48 ta-C
reduces friction losses by a factor of 2, compared with hydrogenated DLC
coatings lubricated with standard oils. Finally, the abrasive wear resistance
of Tribobond™ 48 ta-C surpasses hydrogen-containing DLC coatings by a
factor of fifty when used at temperatures above 200 °C, which makes it an
ideal coating for components of high-loaded assemblies used at elevated
temperatures.
