Carbon Slide
Functional/aesthetic treatment for an hard and smooth surface
Color: black
Applications: steels
Properties: anti-friction, anti-wear, hardener
Carbon Slide is a coating composed of amorphous carbon in matrix of iron oxides with tungsten content intended for rectified steels to obtain a smooth and homogeneous surface and greater smoothness
Hardening
Thanks to its high hardness (greater than 1400 Hv) it guarantees an increase in service life up to four times, even with high loads. The achievable results are equivalent, and in some cases superior, to those achievable with traditional DLC, PVD and CVD coatings.
Anti-wear
By penetrating and occluding the natural microcavity of the base material, it brings a lower roughness, giving the treated surface a much higher wear resistance. The obtainable anti-wear performances are equal, and in some cases superior, to those obtainable through the traditional DLC, PVD and CVD coatings.
Anti-friction
The friction is reduced by about 80% compared to the steel/steel application. The lubrication index of the treated components, that is the performance of the lubricant on them, is increased as in traditional DLC, PVD and CVD coatings.
The surface treated with Carbon Slide coating is black, perfectly smooth and shiny
Reduced thickness
The coating has no thickness (0/0.5 μm): it leaves unchanged the geometries and the original dimensions of the pieces. In traditional DLC, PVD and CVD coatings the coating thickness is always minimal, leaving the geometries of the components unchanged, but often greater than 0.5 μm.
Made at low temperatures
Any deformation of the components is avoided because, during the treatment itself, temperatures above 100°C are never reached. On the opposite, in some applications of traditional DLC, PVD and CVD coatings, higher temperatures can be achieved which can result in material properties loss.
Carbon Slide coating can be used on any iron-carbon alloy, both hardened and cemented

The synergy between the treatments offered by Precise Technology allows the offer of a service unique in its kind: the possibility of submit the components to two or more treatments in order to follow all the process from beginning to the end and obtain an unsurpassed finished product.
The elements intended for Carbon Slide coating can be previously:
— Solvent or ultrasonic cleaned
— Re-pickled from previous treatments
— Micro shot peened
— Polished or treated with Super Fin
Pick-up and delivery
The headquarter of Precise Technology SA is strategically located in Chiasso so that it can easily serve, through an organized logistics network, the whole Swiss territory, the whole Italian territory and, more generally, all Europe. Thanks to the pick-up and delivery service, the company can apply Carbon Slide coating (alternative and superior than DLC coating, PVD coating and CVD coating) to corporate and private customers located in Italy, Switzerland and all Europe.
