| Coating Selection for sliding against non-metallic, abrasive counterfaces |
This might be the case for some plain or journal bearings or for mechanical
seals. If the counterface is a polymer, then the most likely abrasive
filler will be glass fibres. If the counterface is a ceramic or cermet,
then its surface roughness will greatly influence its abrasiveness. In
either case, your choice of surface engineering must be on the basis of
high hardness.
In some cases, clicking on the coating type will take you to the appropriate Poeton product.
