What are DLC Blades and what advantages do they have?
DLC blades are cutting tools that feature a thin layer of Diamond-Like Carbon coating applied to the blade’s surface. DLC is a type of amorphous carbon that exhibits properties similar to those of natural diamond. This coating is deposited onto the blade using specialized techniques like physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), resulting in a highly durable and wear-resistant surface. Typically advantages of DLC are:
1. Superior Hardness and Durability: The DLC coating significantly enhances the hardness of the blade, surpassing that of traditional blade materials.
2. Reduced Friction and Adhesion: DLC blades have a low coefficient of friction, minimizing frictional resistance during cutting or slicing tasks.
3. Enhanced Cutting Performance.
4. Extended Lifespan.
