For reducing wear in sliding situations in vacuum (eg, gears, slideways, hinges, rod-ends):

• Hard Chrome plate for high wear resistance
• Hard Anodising of aluminium alloys if the specific loading is not high
• Electroless Nickel heat treated for maximum hardness
• Thermally Sprayed ceramics or cermets for maximum wear resistance
• PVD TiN for precise parts requiring only a thin, hard coating

For reducing friction in sliding situations in vacuum (eg, gears, slideways, hinges, rod-ends):

• Hard Anodising/PTFE of aluminium alloys if the specific loading is not high
• Electroless Nickel/PTFE heat treated for maximum hardness if wear might be a problem
• Diamond Like Carbon for precise parts requiring only a thin, hard coating
