Nye-Carb®: Consistency That's Tough to Beat

An exceptionally hard matrix with precise coating depth
  • Exacting coating thickness holds tight tolerances
  • Silicon carbide/electroless nickel matrix - our hardest coating
  • Maintains its properties in high heat environments
  • Nickel/phosphorus alloy delivers robust corrosion resistance
  • Integral phosphorus for a low coefficient of friction

Electro-Coatings' exclusive Nye-Carb® coating suspends microscopic particles of silicon carbide in a matrix of electroless nickel. The use of SiC...a material second in hardness only to diamond...allows Nye-Carb to maintain its dimensional tolerances despite extreme stress from heat and friction.

The use of a chemical coating process creates precisely consistent coverage over the component's entire geometry. Sharp corners remain sharp with no edge built-up, recesses and blind holes are uniformly coated, thru-holes and bores remain straight and untapered in virtually any geometric configuration. Accuracy in coating thickness of +/- 10% is readily available.

The dimensional accuracy of Nye-Carb coated components is further enhanced by other valuable attributes:

  • Friction reduction: The presence of phosphorus, along with the surface smoothness of electroless nickel, leads to low friction performance even under high heat conditions
  • Corrosion resistance: Electroless nickel disposition creates a surface free of the microscopic fissures commonly found in hard chrome plating. The phosphorus and nickel matrix also resists degradation caused by adverse reactions to a wide array of chemical agents.
