Casidiam® - Coating for Extreme Conditions
Casidiam® by Industrial Hard Carbon is the latest addition to our DLC coatings portfolio. The extremely hard base layer of Casidiam® increases the load-carrying capacity and scratch-resistance of its tribologically effective DLC top layer even further, making it the perfect coating for applications where extreme contact pressures combine with sliding velocities.

Testimonials
Service and quality is second to none. It's so good we send components for DLC from literally the other side of the world!
IHC has coated all my parts to the highest standards. Very quick turnaround. If you have two pieces metal in contact there will be friction. The DLC coating will reduce the friction to an extremely low value. An added bonus is the parts sound different when they move.
Best in the business."
Industrial Hard Carbon a key not only to winning but making your parts last"
Since 2014 Industrial Hard Carbon has supplied all of the Elite Motorsports Team with the best coatings available. The entire IHC team insures we get properly engineered coatings for each project. From engine parts to race car components, IHC delivers!"
Carbon Raptor® by IHC allows the engine, transmission, and drivetrain to operate at their highest efficiency.
When ceramics and other carbon-based protective coatings can’t meet the challenge, the combined hardness, lubricity, and flexibility of Carbon Raptor by IHC result in phenomenal wear resistance. This thin film can be applied evenly and thoroughly to both the most intricate and massive parts.
Armor® by IHC is an extremely hard yet ductile Chromium Nitride (CrN) coating with excellent abrasion, corrosion, and oxidation resistance. The low intrinsic stress properties of Armor® result in excellent adhesion to the substrate under the most demanding conditions and deliver long-lasting resistance to galling and fretting.
Armor® XD is a uniquely enhanced and incredibly tough Alloyed Chromium Nitride (CrN) coating. Beyond the outstanding abrasion, corrosion, and oxidation resistance found in standard nitride coatings, this advanced variant significantly elevated working temperature threshold, making it ideal for applications demanding superior heat resistance.
DiaMed® is a biocompatible DLC for medical applications that significantly increases wear resistance and protects the underlying substrate from most corrosive agents. It can endure the extreme temperatures from multiple autoclaves and extend a product’s lifespan, reducing product replacement expenses and medical waste.
