Surface treatments are applied to materials and objects to address various problems or improve their performance and durability. Typical problems addressed are: corrosion, galling, wear, friction (reducing or increasing), adhesion, conductivity….. the list goes on. If you are experiencing an engineering challenge please contact us to see if we can help.
Corrosion
Corrosion is the deterioration of a metal caused by its reaction with its environment, and is a major problem that can be prevented or slowed down by using various methods.
Galling
Galling can be a serious problem, as it can lead to premature failure of components. It occurs when two surfaces in contact adhere to each other and then shear off, leaving a rough surface.
Wear
Wear is the loss of material from a surface due to mechanical action. Wear can be caused by a number of factors, including friction, abrasion, impact, and corrosion.
Non-Stick
Non-stick or low friction coatings are materials that are applied to a surface to reduce the coefficient of friction between the surface and another material.
