Lower Emissions with DLC Coatings

Abstract

With vehicle production growing annually and pressure on manufacturers to reduce vehicle emissions, innovative methods will have to be found to make engines more efficient. The PSA Group has set up with Bekaert a co operative test programme to measure the impact of Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings on the frictional behaviour of certain components within the valve train of a production engine.
