When it comes to all the different kinds of thin film coatings on the market, they are not all created equal. Some coatings offer lower friction, while others offer increased wear resistance or temperature resistance.

IHC Collects School Supplies to Help Local Area Schools

DENVER, NC, AUGUST 21, 2017 -- This summer, Industrial Hard Carbon began an internal school supply drive to collect school supplies for local Lincoln county schools.

Industrial Hard Carbon's diamond-like carbon coating has a unique set of properties surpassed only by pure diamond. The following infographic outlines many of IHC's properties that set it apart from other thin films on the market.

One of the worst things that can happen in an industrial facility is the breakdown of machinery. Unscheduled downtime is costly. Not only is there the cost of fixing the broken machinery to get it up and running again, but there is also lost profit because that machinery stalled production.

When it comes to implementing a thin film coating on your application that is prone to extreme wear-and-tear, corrosion and other ailments, not every thin film is created equal. It can be difficult to find a thin film that can withstand a vast array of elements without negatively impacting the performance of whatever it is you’re coating.

Depending on the nature of use, firearms can be exposed to a wide variety of elements and can be subject to extreme wear. Fortunately, diamond-like carbon coatings can provide protection for all types of guns, as well as other benefits, without impacting the performance of the gun.

When it comes to manufacturing and production, the performance of machinery is everything. If the machinery stops working or is not operating as efficiently as it could, it is dramatically impacting the company’s bottom line.

Regardless of the product being produced, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to produce products more efficiently while decreasing unscheduled downtime. There is nothing worse than the production process getting off track and money being lost due to machinery failure or other unforeseen complications that could have been avoided had the proper methods been in place.
