A novel coating technology promises to overcome the serious lubrication problems posed by the use of hydrogen as a fuel for car engines.
Commenting on the potential, Anthony Poeton says: "The agreement gives us access to the extensive production capability and invaluable experience of one of Europe's leading producers of DLC coatings.
Diamolith's 3000 Hv range and excellent lubricity will enable us to offer customers the optimum combination of hardness and low friction".
He adds that Poeton has previously offered another DLC coating but believes that Diamolith, which is produced using the plasma-assisted chemical vacuum deposition (PACVD) method, is better suited to coating high quality components with complex and varied shapes.
