9 RESULTS FOR TERM: "aluminum oxide coatings"

Medical coatings are specialized surface treatments used to preserve the anodic coating on aluminum medical instruments. Reusable medical devices, such as stethoscopes, surgical carts, and operating room fixtures, are constantly cleaned and sterilized, so as to preserve the absolute cleanliness required in hospital and health care settings. The cleaning agents ...

Hard coat anodizing (or hardcoat anodizing) is a type of surface treatment used to increase wear and corrosion resistance, increase surface hardness, and improve the thermal and dielectric properties of treated aluminum objects. This process is also known as Type III aluminum anodizing. Standard (non-hard coat) aluminum anodizing is Type ...

Thermal spray coatings are a type of industrial coating that uses melted or heated materials to create a new outer layer on the surface of treated parts, components, or equipment. A number of different thermal spray coating processes are possible, including HVOF (high-velocity oxygen fuel), plasma electric arc, fuel combustion, ...

Anodic Coatings, also known as anodized coatings, can be added to metal materials to increase the metal’s corrosion resistance and wear resistance, improve its adhesion to primers, glue, and paints, reduce galling in threaded components, and increase the hardness of the metal’s surface. Anodic coatings can also be added for ...

Cold spray coatings are a variation of thermal spray coatings. Unlike “traditional” thermal spray coatings, cold spray coatings do not require the coating material to be heated to high temperatures. Instead, the coating material, usually a metal or alloy in powdered form, is accelerated to speeds as high as 900 ...

Woonsocket,RI(June 22, 2012) — Sanford Process Corporation, a division of Katahdin Industries, announces the results of a rigorous saltwater test on its anodic coating product, MICRALOX®. After 15,000 hours of exposure to 4-6% salt spray per MIL-A-8625F, aluminum treated with MICRALOX® experienced no pitting. Normal anodizing is expected to withstand ...

Micro-crystalline anodizing is a variation of the aluminum anodizing process in which the anodic coating molecules are phase changed into partially crystalline structures. Micro-crystalline anodizing provides the highest chemical and corrosion resistance of any anodizing method. The micro-crystalline anodizing process utilizes low voltage rectification, carefully controlled current density, and a ...
