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.
