Ir reflectivityvs emissivity

Yes. DLC coating can be removed or stripped if required. While the DLC layer can be removed within the same coating chamber using a reactive plasma-based process, removal of the PVD underlayer(s) requires components to be immersed in a chemical solution for a certain time period. The components may require additional polishing before recoating. This is generally discussed with the customer on a case-by-case basis. HEF has the capabilities to offer these services, if required.

DLC coating hardness can range from 2500 HV to 4500 HV depending on the type of DLC coating including the choice of underlayer.

HEF bushings are recognized worldwide for their excellent frictional and anti-seizure properties, and ability to withstand high loads.

DLC coatings are generally applied after a PVD underlayer such as Ti, Cr, CrN or WCC or a combination of them has first been deposited on the component surface. The selection of the underlayer depends on various factors such as hardness of the component surface (substrate), bonding characteristics with the substrate, load bearing requirements of the application, etc. The choice of underlayer is determined case by case primarily based on the application and performance requirements.

Hello, I am interested in Electro-polishing the inside of a 3003 aluminum tube. What kind of reflection percentages would I get in the 265nm range?

Infrared wavelength

Ir reflectivityformula

It is possible to calculate this from measured values of the complex refractive index of Aluminium, and we have done this in the table below. LBP can calculate the %R, phase shift and Polarisation changes on reflection for any wavelength and angle of incidence, just call us.

emissivity +reflectivity= 1

DLC coatings are deposited at relatively low temperatures below 200°C. HEF’s specific deposition technology allows us to deposit these coatings at around 170°C. With our plasma enhancement technology, HEF is able to deposit at such low temperatures to ensure no distortion or change in core properties of the component being coated. Thus, precision components with tight dimensional tolerances can be DLC coated without any concerns.

% Reflectance (at 0.65 µm) and 45 Deg AOI RS = 93.25 (S-polarized) RP = 86.96 (P-polarized) R = 90.11 (non-polarized, (RS+RP)/2 )

Emissivity andreflectivityformula

Aluminium is rarely used as an uncoated reflective surface, the mechanical and environmental properties are poor. A protective layer of MgF2 or SiO2 is needed. This can slightly reduce the above values, or restrict the coating to UV / Visible use. Aluminium does have a dip in its reflectivity in the 700nm – 900nm spectrum.

% Reflectance (at 0.51 µm) and 45 Deg AOI RS = 94.17 (S-polarized) RP = 88.67 (P-polarized) R = 91.42 (non-polarized, (RS+RP)/2 )

Liquid nitriding is a subcritical surface enhancement process with one of the longest track records of success of any case hardening technology.

Hi, Thank you for your interest. I can calculate for you the theoretical reflectance values based on experimental data for the real (n) and imaginary (k) refractive index of Aluminium. There are many other factors that can reduce the actual reflectivity, the most obvious being scatter and diffraction, and possibly chemical interaction with the surface or surface contaminants. We primarily work with Infrared applications so are not experienced with VUV applications. The values I have calculated are simply for personal interest only – we do not warrant them, claim any accuracy for them, or accept any responsibility for their use

DLC coatings are used for many of the applications that have been highlighted for PVD coatings, in general – except for cutting tools which are exposed to high operating temperatures. DLC coatings are especially useful where a combination of both wear and friction reduction is required. DLC coatings also offer a cosmetically pleasing black finish. Typical applications include:

DLC stands for Diamond-Like Carbon. This is a special family of thin-film coatings that provide the high hardness like diamond (due to its tetragonal structure) and low lubricity like graphite (due to its hexagonal structure). DLC though, is amorphous in nature i.e. it does not have a crystal structure, however, offers combined advantages in spite of its overall random arrangement of carbon atoms.

The values I have given are theoretical values calculated using the “refractive index” of the metal as reported in the literature. The calculated values and experimental values for %R agree quite well. The difficulty is for visible and IR wavelengths the refractive index is a “complex” number, having a real and imaginary part ( n + ik ). TRy a search for “Drude Theory” to see why this is the case. (I’m not sure I understand well enough to offer an explanation)

hello, you say that you can calculate the reflactance of specific wavelenghts, do you have a formula for or are you checking results and making a conclusion of close wavelenghts to the one asked?

DLC coatings are deposited using a Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (PACVD) method. Unlike PVD method that involves physically depositing the solid target material source on the component surface, PACVD on the other hand involves a precursor gas source (hydrocarbon) that is broken down into carbon and hydrogen atoms in plasma, deposited as DLC on the component surface in an amorphous fashion.

PVD coatings involve the deposition of thin (2-10 microns; 0.0001" – 0.0004") films on the surface of tools and components.

This blog post is about the “specular” reflectivity of aluminium, i.e when polished to a smooth, bright, uniform mirror surface. If the Aluminium object you are reflecting your laser off is dull, or has a non uniform surface, then the specular reflectivity will be lower, possibly much lower, than the values I have calculated.

I’m sorry we have no experience at all of “millimetric wavelengths” and metal mirrors. We have customers using our mirrors at THz frequencies (say 100um wavelength) but GHz frequencies (100mm wavelength) are a “closed book” to me I’m afraid. A question for an RF engineer !

Total coating thickness including the underlayer is uniform and generally in the range of 2 to 5 microns. The exact coating thickness within this range is determined based on the application and performance requirement.

Aluminium has two uses in optics 1) It is often specified as a mirror substrate, as it is lightweight, easily processed and low cost, 2) It can be used as a thin film coating material. When vacuum deposited onto glass, metals, ceramics as a thin film coating of Aluminium, it means a metal or glass mirror can have the mechanical and thermal properties of the substrate, but the optical properties of Aluminium.

Amazing how your chart skips 3 important values fur use in accurate CGI and filmography. 475nm(blue), 510nm(green), 650nm(red). I’d like to know these values as this will help me tremendously in my personal projects.

Coefficient of friction is a system property. It is generally the ratio of the frictional force to the normal force when two bodies interact with each other. Deposition of DLC coatings helps with friction reduction of the system for applications involving smooth, interacting surfaces. Lubrication plays a key role in this property as well. Typical friction coefficient range for such systems with DLC coated surfaces can be around 0.1 to 0.2 in a dry-condition and less than 0.1 in a lubricated condition.

Hi Skylyn, Here are the theoretical values for the %R of Aluminium at RGB wavelengths. I guessed at 45 Degrees angle of incidence. Hope this helps

CERTESS® CARBON is a tradename of HEF Group for DLC coatings. Depending on your application, there are different options that can be provided within the family of CERTESS® CARBON coatings. Some of these include:

% Reflectance (at 0.475 µm) and 45 Deg AOI RS = 94.32(S-polarized) RP = 88.96 (P-polarized) R = 91.64 (non-polarized, (RS+RP)/2 )

This assumes the only loss of energy on reflection is by absorption. At visible and shorter wavelength scattering and diffraction can cause losses, particularly so with diamond machined (SPDT) metal mirrors. Here at LBP Optics we polish our mirrors to extreme smoothness so scatter and diffraction are at the low levels seen with high quality fused silica optics for the UV
