Hard precision coatings
Hardide Coatings has developed a range of tungsten carbide-based precision coatings which offer ultra-hardness, toughness, low friction and chemical resistance when applied to components made from ferrous and nickel-based alloys.
They can coat internal surfaces and complex shapes and offer significant technical and environmental advantages over traditional technologies such as hard chrome and HVOF. Independent testing has shown that Hardide wears out 40 times slower than abrasion resistant AR-500 steel, 12 times slower than hard chrome and four times slower than thermal spray tungsten carbide.
The coating is in use by customers around the world in high-wear industries including oil and gas downhole and drilling tools, aerospace, valves, power generation, chemicals and food manufacturing.
