Wear Resistance Coatings
Surface hardness helps three Electro-Coatings products fight wear.
Hardness is only one of many benefits delivered by the Electro-Coatings family of wear resistant coatings. Each of our three options help components maintain closer conformity to specified dimensional tolerances.
Behind each wear resistant coating option stands an Electro-Coatings applications specialist, ready to help choose the coating technology that strikes the best balance between performance, quality and cost effectiveness.

Hard Chrome Plating
For resistance to indentation, scratching, bending or shearing, few coatings can match the strength of Electro-Coatings hard chrome plating. The surface delivers durability through a coefficient of hardness that is among the highest of all metal coatings.

The extreme hardness of silicon carbide...approximately 9 on the Mohs scale, compared to 10 for diamond...makes Nye-Carb a wise choice for components that bear heavy loads in the absence of consistent lubrication. Few surfaces of any type can match the wear resistance of Nye-Carb®, a chemically applied silicon carbide coating that suspends microscopic, highly uniformly sized particles of silicon carbide in a matrix of electroless nickel (90-93% nickel, 7-10% phosphorus.)
