PVD & DLC Coatings

Coatings as tough as their names.

Our PVD line and Black Series DLC increase wear resistance, cut friction, raise surface hardness, and extend the life of cutting tools, firearms, and precision parts — applied on modern equipment and handled with care.

PVD Coating

Physical Vapor Deposition

PVD deposits an ultra-thin, ultra-hard ceramic layer onto your part in a vacuum chamber. The result is a dramatic increase in surface hardness and wear resistance — without meaningfully changing the part's dimensions — so tools and components last longer, run smoother, and look the part.

Our PVD line covers the workhorse chemistries, each given a name as tough as the finish it delivers.

DLC Coating

The Black Series (DLC)

Our Diamond-Like Carbon coatings combine extreme hardness with an exceptionally low coefficient of friction in a deep black finish — in three variants tuned for different jobs: Black Voodoo for firearms and heavy wear, Black Widow for temperature-sensitive parts, and Black Mamba built for cutting tools.

Not sure which fits your part? That's exactly the kind of problem we solve every day — tell us your application.

The Crystallume PVD Line

Six PVD coatings, plus the Black Series DLC.

Each coating is matched to a job. Here's where each one shines.

Process temperatures are shown in °C; colors, temps, and thickness are typical values for general guidance — final specs are confirmed per part, material, and application.

Not sure which to choose?

Tell us the problem. We'll match the coating.

Coating selection is where experience pays off — the wrong choice wastes time and money, and the right one transforms a part. Tell us your material, your application, and what's going wrong, and we'll recommend the coating that solves it. It's what we do best.
