Patent number: 9528180Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating for sliding parts that allows using diamond like carbon (DLC) or DLC-comprising coatings in combination with Molybdenum- and/or Zinc-comprising lubricants in such a manner that enhanced reduction of wear and friction in comparison to the state of the art is attained. The coating system according to the present invention comprises at least a metal-comprising carbon layer of the type Me-C/a)-C:X, whose element composition can be expressed as (MeaC1-a)1-bXb with 0.3?a?0.6 and 0<b?0.3, where Me is a metal or a combination of different metals and X is an element different from Me and different from C or X is a mixture of elements different from Me and which doesn't contain C. Me can be preferably Chromium (Cr) or Molybdenum (Mo) and X can be preferably hydrogen (H) or a mixture of silicon and hydrogen (Si+H).Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: OERLIKON SURFACE SOLUTIONS AG, PFAFFIKONInventors: Jürgen Becker, Martin Grischke, Astrid Gies

Patent number: 7905991Abstract: A vacuum treatment system (1) for treating workpieces has a treatment chamber (10) that can be evacuated and in which a low-volt arc-discharge device is placed, with at least one locking loading/unloading aperture and at least one coating source placed on one side wall of the treatment chamber. It also has a device for producing a magnetic field to create a remote magnetic field and at least one workpiece holder to hold workpieces. A target-shutter arrangement (8, 8?) is designed so that when uncovered, the distance between the shutter (8) and the target (12) is less than 35 mm, thus allowing ignition and operation of a magnetron or cathode spark discharge behind the target, but preventing ignition of auxiliary plasma when the target (8) is turned off.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2005Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Oerlikon Trading AG, TrubbachInventors: Markus Esselbach, Martin Zaech, Orlaw Massler, Martin Grischke
