Nie wnikałem w temat od strony technicznej, ale z artykułu na horobox znalazłem taki opis:
ADLC, another type of DLC, namely Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon, is a special kind developed by Cartier. It is claimed to be a smooth, highly non-fingerprint and even more robust than the standard DLC.
I jeszcze z innego forum:
just received my sample parts back, after being ADLC (Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon) coated. This was done by a shop which did not have experience with watches...Needless to say, we are thrilled by the results, and possibilities.
ALDC is applied using Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (PACVD), and has several advantages over PVD coatings, including the following:
[*]It harder, at about 3500-4000 HV (Compared to 2000-3000 HV for PVD coatings, and 3000 HV for DLC)
[*]It applies more evenly. Unlike PVD, ALDC is not a line-of-site process. This means that items don't have to be rotated in the chamber. It also allows better coverage of inner radiuses, lettering and engraving, etc.
[*]It goes on at a lower temperature of under 200
