Vapor Hard Thin Film Coatings
For Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metals and Alloys

Coating Specifications

Suitable Coating Materials

Series 600 coatings can be successfully applied to most metals, although, Tool Steels, High Speed Steels, and Carbides are preferred. Series 600 cannot be applied to Copper, Leaded Steels, Cast Iron and Oil-Hardened Steels.

Coating Thickness

The coating is a controlled process for surface growth and is normally applied between 0.0001 inch and 0.0002 inch, although, based on the specific performance factors, may be as high as 0.0004 inch. Components with internal surfaces (holes, slots) can also be coated.

Surface Finish (RMS)

Series 600 coatings will be equal to or better than the original surface finish, subsequently, any imperfection before coating will be present after coating.

Hardness

Series 300 coatings are inert to most chemicals, including acids, alkalies, halogens, metal salts, solvents, and exhibit excellent corrosion resistance. Upon request, we will supply coated samples and recommend that you evaluate the selected Endura® coating under your specific application conditions.

  • Resists wear and abrasion up to 12 times better
    than stainless steel.
  • Provides a smooth, dense, ultra-hard coating (to 90 Rc).
  • Provides enhanced non-stick (release) properties.
  • No dimensional change - standard thickness of 1-2 micro meters.
  • Provides good corrosion resistance.

Wear & Abrasion Resistance

Series 600 coatings are engineered to provide maximum wear and abrasion resistance. Coatings will resist wear and abrasion up to 12 times better than stainless steel.

Low Coefficient of Friction

Series 600 coated surfaces are smooth and provide an extremely low coefficient of friction. Values range from 0.08 to 0.18 depending on the load, sliding speed, temperatures, and other factors.

Chemical & Corrosion Resistance

Series 600 coatings are inert to most chemicals, including acids, solvents and salts, and exhibit good corrosion resistance.

Non-Stick Properties

Based on the unique combined properties of Series 600 coatings, few materials will permanently adhere to the coated surface. We have developed specific non-stick "PVD Matrix" coatings.

Operating Temperature Range

Coatings will withstand severe temperature extremes without loss of physical properties. Coatings are available to operate from cryogenic to 600°F, depending on the specific coating being applied.
