Casidiam Diamond-like Coating
Casidiam Application Notes
Application Note Subject: Casidiam PAVCD vs PVD Film Properties Application Note.
Customers and Applications:
There are several technologies that can be used to deposit thin films. Within these technologies, there are ranges of recipes that result in different films with different properties. This bulletin describes the film properties for Anatech’s Casidiam and a DLC PVD coating.
Application Note Subject: Connecting Rod & Piston Pin - Piston Assembly Application Note.
Customers and Applications:
Casidiam coated piston pin that saved an engine block in a blown alcohol drag racing application. The aluminum piston melted due to detonation, and aluminum melted onto the surface of the connecting rod and the inner diameter of the piston pin.
Application Note Subject: Spring Retainer Application Note.
Customers and Applications:
Spring retainer wear decreases valve lift, which results in a gradual power decrease during a race. Excessive wear can be catastrophic, as the retainer weakens enough to break, and the valve drops into the cylinder. Casidiam, a hard carbon coating used successfully in many applications, has proven its value in preserving titanium valve spring retainers under race conditions.
Application Note Subject: Valve Application Note. 1/3
Customers and Applications:
Valve wear is a problem for nearly every type of racing engine. Wear hurts valve sealing, causing horsepower loss that can only be recovered by remachining or replacing valves, seats, or guides.

Application Note Subject: Titanium valves. 2/3
Customers and Applications: NASCAR® and other endurance or longevity critical engines that use titanium valves.

Application Note Subject: Titanium intake valves. 3/3
Customers and Applications: NASCAR® and other endurance or longevity critical engines that use titanium valves.
Application Note Subject: Wrist Pin Application Note.
Customers and Applications:
Several race engine applications require wrist pins to survive surface wear and loads that continue to climb beyond the capabilities of traditional designs. Leading racers and engine builders have turned to Casidiam, a proprietary diamond-like carbon coating, as the solution for
surface wear.
