Bodycote offers a unique range of thermochemically formed ceramic coatings for the prevention of wear and corrosion in a wide variety of industrial applications and for every type of surface.
Bodycote’s ceramic coatings, which includes the K-Tech coatings range, have been uniquely developed for applications in specific industries. Several formulae cover a virtually limitless number of potential applications which can be applied to most ferrous and some non-ferrous metals.
Chromium oxide ceramic material thermochemically bonded to customer specified areas on a part, including external diameters, internal diameters and some out-of-sight holes and ports. Individual ceramic particles are sub-micron in size and consist of mixtures of selected ceramic materials bonded together and to the substrate.
Benefits
-Hardness
-Substantially improved component lifetime
-Low friction; the coated surface is anti-fouling
-Corrosion protection from absolutely dense, pore free barriers
-Increases bond strength
-Chemically, not mechanically, bonded
-Extraordinary wear resistance
-Effective coating of complex geometries and internal bores
-No measurable buildup on top of the plating/coating
-No pre-grinding required
-Increases plating/coating life by 4 to 10 times in most corrosive environments
-Resistant to thermal cycling/shock
-Superior sliding wear resistance and high electrical resistivity
-Extremely fine grain structure
Application & materials
For increased wear resistance, corrosion protection, and anti-galling with little dimensional change.
