A METHOD FOR PRESERVING A PRECISION EDGE OF A PRECISION EDGES SUBSTRATE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for preserving the precision-edges of a precision-edged substrate by applying to the substrate a corrosion resistant coating comprising a diamond-like solid state material having interpenetrating atomic scale networks comprising a first diamond-like carbon network stabilized by hydrogen, a silicon network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally at least one network made from dopant elements or dopant compounds containing elements from Groups 1- 7b and 8 of the periodic table.
