CeraCoat®- Functional wear protection
High quality metal and ceramic layers are thermally sprayed onto base materials with CeraCoat®. Extreme hardness optimizes the wear resistance and extends the serviceable life of mechanically strained components. Modifications in surface roughness and profile enable customized applications. Sealed with a top coat, excellent nonstick properties can be achieved.
CeraCoat® can be applied to nearly all metallic substrates and carbon fiber or other composite materials to provide a wear-resistant surface. Mechanically finished CeraCoat® can even replace hard chrome for wear resistance.
| Coating thickness: | 80 µm to 200 µm |
| Temperature range: | -40 °C to +270 °C |
| Surface roughness (Ra): | approx. 0.2 µm (mech. refinished) to 30 µm |
| Hardness: | 28 to70 HRc |
| FDA approval: | yes, for some types of coating |
PlasmaCoat®- Wear-resistant combination coatings
PlasmaCoat® combination coatings also enable excellent traction properties with various surface roughnesses and profiles. The reinforcement layer can be sprayed with metal or ceramic materials for high wear resistance.
| Coating thickness: | 80 µm to 295 µm |
| Temperature range: | -40 °C to +270 °C |
| Surface roughness(Ra): | 1.5 µm to 17.5 µm |
| Hardness: | 28 to 70 HRc |
| FDA approval: | yes, for some types of coating |
StarCoat®- Extraordinary wear protection
SuperChrome® belongs to the StarCoat® family. It is a cost-efficient alternative to conventional hard chrome, with high resistance to wear and corrosion. This coating is a favorite for rolls in wet applications, i.e. in the paper industry.
ArmorClad® is another StarCoat® family member. It provides an even harder carbide surface that is virtually pore-free and can withstand even the sharpest knives. Mechanically finished ArmorClad® is particularly well suited for coating counter cutting cylinders used to cut paper, cardboard and films.
| Coating thickness: | 100 µm to 800 µm |
| Surface roughness (Ra): | approx. 0.2 µm (mech. refinished) to 30 µm |
| Temperature range: | -40 °C to +950 °C |
| Hardness: | 53 to 70 HRc |
