Research abstract

Armorlube LLC provides high-performance ultra-hard metal coating services and solutions for a wide range of industries including firearms, automotive, oil & gas, aerospace & defense, manufacturing, agriculture and others. Armorlube’s Unique Hollow Cathode DLC (diamond-like-carbon) coating can be used to coat parts for various applications. Armorlube provides both the coating on parts and the machinery to realize it. The coating’s superior performance and capabilities can significantly reduce wear and tear of parts operating in harsh conditions. Particularly, the coating can reduce wear in firearms, replacing oil-based lubricants and extending the life-length of arms. Armorlube has partnered with the US Army for a dedicated project on dry lubricant and anti-wearing coating for firearms. The project was successful, reducing wear of coated parts by almost 90%. Armorlube coating is expected to be the technical solution for the next forthcoming MIL-SPEC, expected to be released in YF2023.
