Abstract:
1. A method of making a coated article, the method comprising: providing a glass substrate, forming a layer comprising diamond-like carbon (DLC) on the glass substrate, forming a layer comprising zirconium on the glass substrate over the layer comprising DLC, forming a solar control multi-layer coating including at least one layer comprising silver (Ag) and/or nickel chrome (NiCr) and at least one dielectric layer onto a surface of the glass substrate, the layer comprising Ag and/or NiCr being located between at least the glass substrate and the dielectric layer, so that the solar control multi-layer coating and the layer comprising DLC are formed on opposite sides of the glass substrate, heat treating the glass substrate with each of the solar control multi-layer coating, the layer comprising DLC and the layer comprising zirconium thereon at least at a time when the heat treating begins, and wherein the heat treating comprises heating the glass substrate using at least temperature(s) of at least 580 degrees C., in an atmosphere including oxygen, for a time period sufficient for bending and/or thermally tempering the glass substrate.
