Carbon film coating
|
|
Carbon film coating is a "Carbide Derived Carbon" (CDC)-based coating that can reduce mechanical friction by up to 75 percent and was invented by Turkish scientist Dr. Ali Erdemir. Features This carbon coating shows the lowest coefficient of friction, less than 0.001, when tested in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. This makes the carbon coating 40 times slicker than Teflon, which has a coefficient of about 0.04. The material is hard enough to show promise for use in machine and automobile engine parts, making them also work more silently. Prizes The coating was named one of the top 100 inventions of the year by R&D magazine in 2003, that is considered the Oscar of technology. |
