Components coated in Titanium Nitride, which is the staple of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) hard coatings, solves “tribological” problems with machine components that can be coated at temperatures of 800-850° Fahrenheit.
“Tribology” is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication, and wear.
This Nanocrystalline technology is accomplished by embedding Nanocrystalline (AICrN) grains into an amorphous matrix. Advancements allow for the formation of higher nanohardness coating with greater thermal stability than conventional coatings.
Applied using a lateral rotating cathode technology in a PVD process, materials are vaporized from a solid source in the form of atoms/molecules and then transported in the form of vapor through a vacuum, low pressure gas/plasma to the substrate where it condenses. Following the coating process the components are Micro-Polished to achieve an amazing luster that performs under conditions of high load with higher reliability over other conventional coatings.
Advantages of this coating include abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, corrosion protection, extreme temperature resistance, high wear resistance, extreme hardness, oil/fuel resistance, increased lubricity, low coefficient of friction, oxidation resistance, and low thermal conductivity.
