Poeton Coating Selection for austenitic (300 series) stainless steel parts


	Coating Selection for austenitic (300 series) stainless steel parts

Electroless Nickel, where hardening 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.
Nitriding or Nitrocarburising can produce a very high surface hardness. However, all corrosion resistance will be lost

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