DiamoSilb® is an additive to silver electroplating baths, which significantly improves tribological
properties of the silver coatings. DiamoSilb® leads to the formation of homogeneous and fine
crystallites. The improved structure of the coating leads to the significant increase of wear
resistance and to the decrease of friction coefficient.
The 3-D scratch profiles below illustrate the improvement of wear resistance of Silver-DiamoSilb®
coating (right) in comparison with the standard silver.
