Market Definition
Hard coating refers to a thin protective layer applied to surfaces, typically metals or ceramics, to enhance their resistance to wear, abrasion, corrosion, and friction. These coatings are composed of hard materials such as carbides, nitrides, or diamond-like carbon, which significantly increase the surface hardness of the substrate. Hard coatings find extensive applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and electronics, where durability and performance optimization are critical.
