Dublin, April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Market for Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Coatings 2024-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Market for Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Coatings provides quantitative revenue forecasts from 2018-2034, segmented by major end-use markets such as automotive, medical devices, machinery, tools, injection molds, optics and energy. Regional market value predictions are also included.
The report offers technology overviews explaining DLC coating properties, classifications, deposition processes and performance comparisons to substitutes like TiN, CrN etc.
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are amorphous carbon material which exhibits typical properties of diamond such as hardness and low coefficient of friction, characterized based on the sp3 bonded carbon and structure. They exhibit unique combination of high hardness, low friction, chemical inertness, smoothness, optical transparency and tunability. These precision multifunctional property combinations enable micron-thick DLC films to enhance longevity and performance across the most demanding mechanical and electro-optical components where unprotected surfaces previously failed prematurely.
In-depth application-specific assessments discuss composite layer advantages, ROI considerations, TRL status analysis and SWOT evaluation across key sectors - automotive engine parts, cutting tools, biomedical implants, injection molds for electronics housings, precision optics and solar panel glass coatings. 24 leading DLC coating manufacturers are profiled in detail spanning capabilities, technologies leveraged and target industries served worldwide. The competitive landscape mapping assists strategic partnership considerations and technology comparisons.
