Coating Selection for aluminium or titanium alloy parts  
  • Electroless Nickel and Composites for corrosive wear situations. Hardening at 300oC will provide additional wear resistance. Ceramic-filled electroless nickel will give further wear resistance. PTFE-filled electroless nickel will give low friction, but high wear if the load is high
  • Hard Chrome Plate for excellent wear prevention. Choose the thickness on the basis of the load
  • Thermally Sprayed Metals or Alloys for wear and corrosion. E.g. tool steels
  • Thermally Sprayed Ceramics or Cermets for maximum wear resistance. E.g. WC/Co coatings, alumina, chromium oxide, etc
  • Anodising for wear protection of aluminium alloys. Can be sealed with PTFE for reduced friction. Anodising of titanium produces only a very thin decorative layer
  • Electro-Ceramic Coating, for wear protection of aluminium, titanium and magnesium alloys
  • Nitriding or Nitrocarburisng for wear protection of titanium alloys. Requires high temperature processing

In some cases, clicking on the coating type will take you to the appropriate Poeton product.
