Product Improvements

Performance qualities Abrasion resistance - high (ceramic-like in abrasive environments) Coefficient of friction - low (sliding friction: 0.09, static friction: 0.12;   XADC can be run against other XADC surfaces) Corrosion resistance - excellent (equals corrosive resistance of 440C stainless steel) Microhardness - high (measures over 1400 Vickers) Surface hardness - 92 Rc plus (no other chromium coating is as hard) Benefits Coating-to-substrate bond - absolute adhesion (will not fracture from substrate,   unless substrate fractures or fatigues) Plastic mold life - increased (has shown increase in life of 300 % plus   with 30 - 50 % filled materials)

Manufacturing Improvements

Engineering advantages Thickness deposition of coating (0.0001 - 0.0003 inches [2.5 - 7.5 microns] per surface) Dimension specifications of product (due to uniformity of coating, in most cases   no specification change is needed) Nodular orange-peel surface texture (satin coloration)

Applications

Rotating equipment Bearings (all types) Spindles Gears Splines Tool and Die equipment Plastic injection molds Forming dies and deep draw tools Stamping tools High speed - high temperature equipment Die cast tooling (aluminum, titanium, zinc) Other equipment Engines and transmission components Machine tools (sliding and rotating) Aerospace components Pumps for abrasive media

Coating method Proprietary Applied at temperatures less than 212 deg. F (100 deg. C)

Mechanism (How ultradiamond90 works)

Mechanism Reduces grain size of coating Reduces order in crystal packing of coating
