An Answer To Corrosion Coatings

An Answer To Corrosion Coatings

By:


Proprietary coatings like diamond chromium coating (98Rc) and thin dense chromium coating (78Rc) provide absolute adhesion and corrosion protection equal to 440 series stainless steel. With these types of special coating you can reduce problems that are associated with severe corrosion. Because of the higher surface hardness, the corrosion resistant coatings need to have a longer wear life than even stainless steel. The corrosion resistant and wear resistant coatings make it so that you can use less expensive metals instead of using chrome or stainless steel which can correlate to a relatively large cost savings.

The XADC coating offers the industrial design and engineering community an expansion of options to enhance equipment and tooling performance, also it can increases the durability of the components used in a wide-range of applications. The applications range from plastic injection mold tooling to coating aerospace applications that require long life, extreme wear protection, corrosion protection, and reduces the friction. XADC is unsurpassed in its ability to control the problems associated with wear and corrosion.

The TDC coating is a low-temperature, multistate surface finishing process. Its silver satin matte chromium coating insures fidelity to part contours and details without the edge build-up or 'dog-boning' that is associated with chrome plating. The addition of the nano-diamond spheres in the coating technology is unique. Unlike conventional hard chrome plating, coating conforms with precision to details in metal tools, resulting in hard (78Rc), slippery, and corrosion-resistant surfaces. The TDC coating provides a standard plating thickness of .0001/.0003" per surface. However, in molding, the .000050/.0002" range is more realistic, given the tight tolerances that are the industry standard so they won't interfere with the working of industrial equipment. The protective coatings will provide coating solutions that maintain corrosion resistance for many possible applications.

The XADC and TDC coatings will eliminate the formation of corrosion while reducing friction thus circumventing the potential for breakdown of equipment or part failures and consequently loss of time. Potential for pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as brittle fracture resulting from corrosive attack are also reduced or eliminated with the application of our corrosion resistant and wear resistant coatings.

The XADC and TDC coatings will:

-Prevent premature fractures of parts and equipment due to corrosion fatigue.

-Provide corrosion protection that reduces the potential for decomposition of metal and plastic surfaces. Our coatings will provide modification of the corrosion system so that corrosion damage is mitigated.

-Enhance the durability of parts and equipment providing a wear resistant solution for many industrial areas including, but limited to, rubber and plastics, nuclear, automotive, food processing, OEM machine tooling and bearings.

-Reduce or eliminate friction which will in turn provide longer wear.

The hardness of the substrate metal is not an issue with the coatings. Generally, the harder the base metal, the more effective the XADC and TDC coatings become. The coatings can also be used on gas or ion surfaces. Even with copper alloys, where hardness cannot be dramatically increased, our coatings will still provide wear resistance against abrasion without inhibiting the copper's thermal diffusion properties.
