Refmet ceramics takes tools and components to new and extended levels of performance utilising state of the art ceramic diamond diamond like carbon and ultra low friction coatings to alleviate problems associated with adhesive wear abrasive wear fretting pick up galling and friction.
Ultra low friction coatings.
In a few cases 2 from 10 in dry nitrogen the friction curves were noisier with an average μ around 0 01.
Ultra low friction coating to solve material challenges.
The advantages of apticote 480a are not only limited to low friction and non stick.
The coatings provide excellent barrier protection to resist aggressive chemicals and other sources of corrosion.
Both optical observation and sem of the wear tracks showed large delaminated parts in the wear tracks showing higher friction see fig.
Magnacoat low friction coatings.
The ultra low friction described above was not observed in all tests.
In addition the most coating offers an ultra low coefficient of friction 0 01 0 06 much lower than that of teflon or graphite with a hardness of 1500 2000 hv and an extremely low specific wear rate 4 10 17m 3 nm.
The magnacoat range of coatings are probably the best corrosion resistant coatings available.
Where low friction coatings are needed ptfe coatings are usually used.
