The Materials Behind Abrasion Resistant Coatings
March 5, 2024
Abrasion resistant coatings primarily act as a physical barrier to protect machinery components and increase their longevity, however, our coating systems can be given additional properties such as low-friction, non-stick, or greater traction – further enhancing your bespoke desired performance. But what are the materials behind these useful properties? Read on to find out. Tungsten Carbide for Abrasion Resistance Tungsten carbide is an exceptional metal for abrasion resistance, commonly applied using plasma coating. Its application methods include thermal spray or High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) processes. This material is noted for its high Rockwell hardness of 70HRc. This significant hardness allows Tungsten
