Morgan Advanced Ceramics Offers Diamonex DLC Coatings For The Performance Racing Industry

Morgan Advanced Ceramics, a manufacturer of innovative ceramic, glass, metal and engineered coating solutions, and its Diamonex Products division, offer Diamonex Diamond-like Coatings (DLC) for the automotive and high performance racing industries. Morgan Advanced Ceramics' Diamonex DLC coating is a high-performance, thin surface coating, providing high hardness, excellent chemical resistance and low friction.

Diamonex DLC coatings increase wear life and reduce surface friction of metal components. Using patented plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies, Morgan Advanced Ceramics creates a coating with chemical and physical properties comparable to diamond, but without long-range crystalline order. Similar to diamond, the Diamonex DLC coatings exhibit high hardness, a low coefficient of friction and chemical resistance. Diamonex DLC coatings are applied to the product at near ambient temperature, thereby maintaining tight dimensional tolerances. The high degree of vapor ionization used in Morgan Advanced Ceramics' processes for DLC produces smooth, highly dense, conformal coatings with excellent adhesion.

Morgan Advanced Ceramics' Diamonex DLC coating are specifically engineered to meet the performance requirements of each unique application.
