Coating Solutions - Reducing Metal Corrosion


One of the major problems in daily house hold items and metal industries is corrosion in pipes, valves, and other parts. There are a number of proprietary coatings performed in precision engineering company like, diamond Chromium Coating and thin Dense Chromium Coating provide absolute linkage and corrosion protection equal to stainless steel. Superior coating solutions can reduce problems associated with severe corrosion. Due to higher surface hardness sometimes corrosion resistant coatings have longer wear life than even stainless steel. Corrosion resistant and wear resistant coatings allow the use of less expensive metals as opposed to using chrome or stainless steel which can associate to a relatively large cost savings, while at the same time increasing wear life. The two most significant precision engineering services are:

• Diamond Chromium Coating:
Offers the industrial design and engineering community an expansion of options to enhance equipment and tooling performance, plus it increases the durability of the components used in a wide-range of applications. From plastic injection mold tooling to coating aerospace applications that require long life, extreme wear protection, corrosion protection, and reduced friction.

• Thin Dense Chromium Coating:
This type of coating is a low-temperature, multistate surface finishing process. Its silver satin matte chromium coating insures fidelity to part contours and details without the edge build-up or "dog-boning" associated with conventional chrome plating. The addition of the nano-diamond spheres in our TDC coating technology is unique to the industry. Unlike conventional hard chrome plating, our TDC coating conforms with precision to details in metal tools, resulting in hard, slippery, and corrosion-resistant surfaces.

Coating technique is being performed in precision engineering industry as Diamond Chromium coating and thin dense Chromium coatings can eliminate the formation of corrosion while reducing friction thus circumventing the potential for breakdown of equipment or part failures and consequently loss of time. Potential for pitting and fracture corrosion, as well as brittle fracture resulting from corrosive attack are also reduced or eliminated with the application of corrosion resistant and wear resistant coatings.
