With its superior hardness, diamond demonstrates remarkable wear resistance. That’s why diamond coatings, based on CVD (chemical vapor deposition) technology, are the ideal choice for machining highly abrasive and special materials. In many industries – such as aerospace, dental and electronics – materials like fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP, GFRP), stacks or compacted and sintered powders are essential for meeting high-performance requirements.
Oerlikon Balzers offers both hot filament and plasma technologies for creating sp3 CVD diamond coatings – enabling ideal, application-specific solutions for its customers.
The BALDIA® portfolio of diamond coatings is precisely engineered to match a wide range of applications and cutting tool types and geometries. Whether you are machining demanding composite materials, graphite or ceramics like zirconia, BALDIA® coatings deliver outstanding performance thanks to their superior wear resistance and the ability to maintain tightest tolerances.
By significantly enhancing cutting performance and extending tool service life, BALDIA® coatings help reduce manufacturing costs and increase process reliability.
