Nitron MC

Nitron MC is a dark grey-black hard carbon coating applied in an advanced physical vapour deposition (PVD) process.

The coating has exceptional tribological properties due to its high hardness (1000Hv) and a very low coefficient of friction (0.1). The graded structure gives outstanding adhesion and toughness making it suitable for wear reduction in many sliding applications.

Tecvac Nitron MC is carried out in purpose built processing machines which allow the deposition to be carried out at low temperatures (150 to 250° C). The coating has a very smooth finish requiring no post-process operations.
