ICF coating high-functionality and high-performance carbon film
The surface of the film is smooth, with a low friction coefficient (μ = 0.1), and has self-lubricating properties, which prevents metal adhesion to molds and protects the mirror surface of molds during the forming of soft metals.
'ICF Coating - High-Functionality and High-Performance Carbon Film'
■□■ Features ■□■
■ The ICF film is an amorphous (non-crystalline) carbon film, positioned between graphite and diamond structures.
* The ICF film (Intrinsic Carbon Film) is a general term for carbon films with high functionality and multifunctionality, including DLC.
■ The ICF film serves as a substitute for oil, achieving oil-free operation and maintenance-free performance.
■ Due to its amorphous structure, it lacks grain boundaries, resulting in a very smooth surface compared to hard thin films with polycrystalline structures, such as titanium nitride.
■ Hardness: 2,000 - 2,200 HV
■ Friction coefficient: μ = 0.1
■ Film thickness: Standard 1 μm; ultra-thin films of less than 0.1 μm are also available.
■ Applicable materials: Cemented carbide, SKH, SKD, SUJ2, aluminum alloys, beryllium copper, etc.
