Overview of Dry Coating

Dry coating is a vacuum-based process used to apply metallic or ceramic thin films, improving product durability and sustainability. Common thin films, such as Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC), TiN, and TiCN, are widely utilized across industries for:

• Cutting tools and dies

• Automotive components

• Medical devices

• Consumer products and their manufacturing equipment

These coatings deliver exceptional abrasion resistance, low friction, and oxidation resistance, enhancing product performance and longevity while supporting resource efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Arc Ion Plating (AIP): A Key Dry Coating Method

The Arc Ion Plating (AIP) method, a type of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), creates thin films by evaporating and ionizing material through arc discharge.

Advantages of AIP:

• High-speed, precision coating.

• Excellent adhesion for robust durability.

• Scalable for mass production.

• Consistent process stability.

This Method is Ideal for Creating:

• Hard coatings for cutting tools.

• Low-friction, anti-abrasion coatings for automotive applications.
