Capabilities


	Processes
	Your choices are...
	Ceramic Coating		Ceramic coatings exhibit excellent resistance to wear, heat, and aqueous corrosion. In addition, the coatings are an excellent electrical insulator.
	Cladding / Bimetal		Cladding is a process where another type of material is metallurgically bonded to a base metal usually through a rolling, high pressure, inlay and/or thermal process. Usually the base metal is less costly, but less corrosion or wear resistant. Stainless steel clad to carbon steel would be an example of a clad or bimetal material.
	Hard Coating / Treatment		By means of a hollow cathode evaporator and one or several ARC dischargers, thin coatings are applied to the substrate in a reactive, plasma supported process. The applied coatings increase wear resistance and are characterized by a homogenous structure, extreme hardness at a range of 2000 to 3000 HV as well as brilliant colors and excellent adhesion of the coating to the substrate.
	Hardfacing		Hardfacing is a process, which welds materials with different properties to the substrate. Hardfacing processes are very useful for improving wear and corrosion resistance to selected areas of machinery, such as cutting edges of earth-moving machinery. Common hardfacing techniques include arc, torch, and other processes.
	Plating / Electroplating		Plating is a process used to deposit a coating onto a metal or conductive surface using a metal salt solution of the metal coating to be deposited. Electroplating requires the application of DC power, while electrolysis plating does not.
	Thermal Spraying		A continuous coating process which melts the consumable material into droplets and impinging these droplets on the substrate. The thickness of the coatings may range from 25 µm to 2.5 mm (.001 - .1 in). The thermal spray coatings compete with plating and paint coating for atmospheric corrosion resistance in water tanks, TV towers, bridges, and other large steel structures.
	Thin Film Coating		Thin film coatings play a prominent role on the manufacture of many electric devices. They are used to apply dopants and sealants to chips and other microelectronic parts. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) are two most common types of thin film coating methods.
	Other		Other unlisted coating process.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Functional Performance
	Your choices are...
	Abrasion Resistant		The coating is resistant to damage by abrasion.
	Friction Reducing / Low Friction		A specialty coating applied to reduce friction between two materials.
	Heat Resistant / High Temperature		The coating is resistant to damage by heat or the coating is formulated for use in high temperature environments.
	Mold Release / Nonstick		Release and nonstick coatings are applied to a substrate to prevent materials from sticking. Mold releases are applied to the surface of a mold or die cavity and allow the molded component to be easily ejected or removed.
	Oil & Grease Resistant		Coatings resistant to degradation when in contact with oils, lubricants, grease and other petroleum fluids. Oil repellent or oleophobic coatings are not wet by oils.
	Protective		Coatings for the protection of substrates.
	VOC Compliant		Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are any carbon compound that evaporates under standard test conditions. Essentially, all paint solvents except water are VOCs. Federal and state governments limit the amount of volatile organics found in paint because of environmental and health effects.
	Wear / Erosion Resistant		The coating is resistant to wear or erosion. Wear is usually defined as wear produced from a sliding action between two or more components. Erosion is the damage material removal as a result of particle or slurry impact against a surface.
	Other		Other unlisted features.

Material


	Substrate Capabilities
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		A bluish silver-white malleable ductile light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Carbide		Carbides include silicon carbide, tungsten carbide and titanium carbide as well as other compounds of a metal (Ti, W, Cr, and Zr) or metalloid (B, Si) and carbon. Carbides have excellent wear resistance and high hot hardness.
	Ceramic		Materials made of nonmetallic minerals, such as clay, that have been permanently hardened by firing at a high temperature. Most ceramics resist heat and chemicals.
	Composites		Composite materials typically consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous or continuous second phase. The second phase may reinforce (strengthen or stiffen), alter electrical or magnetic properties or enhance wear or erosion resistance.
	Copper / Copper Alloys		A common reddish metallic element that is ductile and malleable and is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Copper alloys are specified for applications where superior corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and good bearing surface qualities are desired. All copper-base alloys are easily plated, brazed, soldered and machined.
	Glass		Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates that is usually transparent or translucent. It is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid.
	Iron / Cast Iron		Iron is a heavy, malleable, ductile, magnetic, silver-white metallic element. The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed.
	Metal		Metals and alloys such as steel, copper, stainless steel as well as more exotic alloys such as titanium, zirconium, niobium, or palladium.
	Nickel / Nickel Alloys		Nickel and nickel alloys such as such as Monel®, Kovar®, Invar®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, Hastelloy®, and others. Monel, Inconel and Incoloy are registered trademarks of Special Metals Corporation. Kovar and Invar are registered trademarks of Carpenter Technology. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International.
	Precious Metals		Relatively scarce, highly corrosion resistant, valuable metals found in periods 5 and 6 of the periodic table. They include ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold.
	Plastic		Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
	Steel / Steel Alloys		Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
	Titanium		Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery, element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. It is known for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. For this reason it is used widely in the aerospace industry and the medical fields (e.g., replacement joints). When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, it adds strength and oxidation resistance.
	Wood		Wood is often cut and dried for use as building material and fuel.
	Specialty / Other		Other, specialty, proprietary or unlisted material type.
