Diamond coating is a technology that puts diamond coating onto silicon carbide surfaces to increase hardness and reduce friction. EagleBurgmann commercialized this technology under the name DiamondFace, while Advanced Diamond Technologies introduced optimal diamond surfaces for dry running conditions.
Dry running and solid particulate leather are two common causes of debris. Diamonds have very high hardness and low friction, so in principle help the debris face with better wear resistance and reduce heat generation when the liquid membrane is lost.
The journal Hydrocarbon Processing has published a warning to buyers to be careful when viewing diamond coating as the solution for dry running. It is necessary to consider adhesion and coating thickness, independent test conditions, compatibility with leather materials and cost-to-benefit.
