What else should I consider in planning a successful application of an Industrial Hard Carbon thin film application?
The properties of all thin film protective coatings are limited to the substrate surface, i.e. they do not change the bulk properties of the substrate material. Therefore, if a point load which is capable of significantly damaging the uncoated part is applied, the part will still be damaged and the protective coating often delaminates due extraordinary strain which would be required for the coating to adapt to the increased surface area resulting from the damage. Industrial Hard Carbon can assist you in choosing the best material for your application.
