• Carburising (Case-Hardening) for high hardness and load-carryingcapacity.
• Electroless Nickel and associated composites for corrosive wear situations. Hardening at 400^oC 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. E.g. Cr plate is used on car body dies. Good for corrosive wear if protected with an underlayer of electrolytic nickel.
• 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, alumina, chromium oxide, etc. A corrosion barrier is required under the hard coating if corrosion is likely.
• Nitriding or Nitrocarburisng if loads are light or moderate, particularly for low carbon steels with 1or 2% alloying elements like Cr or Mo. Follow with oxidation and oiling treatment for corrosive situations.
