PVD-CoatingCheck
Deposition, Analysis and Assessment Package for PVD Coatings
We support companies in transforming a specific surface-related challenge into a technically suitable and reliably validated coating solution. Our deposition, analysis and assessment package for PVD Coatings provides a structured pathway from the problem to the right surface — from component geometry and coating selection through to an application-oriented testing and decision dataset.
Which surface is best suited for your component, your application, and your requirements?
Our coatings
- Protect: Surfaces with high hardness and chemical stability
- Reduce: Friction, wear and abrasion
- Improve: Quality by smooth, defined functional surfaces
- Barrier: Against media, leachable and unwanted surface reactions
- Passivate: for sensitive substrates like polymers, metals or 3D-parts
- Application optimized surfaces: for medical technology, drive technology, electronics etc.
Our services
- Coatability: Accessibility, shaded areas, installation, etc.
- Coating selection: DLC, N-DLC, Si-DLC, TiN, SiO:H or functional combinations
- Coating of real parts: standardized test sample specimens and close to application OEM test parts
- Surface and functionality evaluation: Roughness, defects, adhesion, wettability, wear, sterilization resistance, biological surface response
- Go/No-Go decision: Coating, geometry and next development steps
