Aerospace -- Armoloy® can be processed to these individual specifications in addition to many other company requirements: 

Automotive -- Engine and transmission parts such as valves, valve guides, pistons, gears and splines are protected without detrimental tolerance changes or variations.

Food Processing -- USDA/FDA compliant, Armoloy® Nodular Thin Dense Chromium protects food-processing equipment against wear and corrosion. Armoloy® coating resists attack by most organic and inorganic compounds.

Bearings and bearing surfaces coated with Armoloy® can run longer and cooler and are comparable to a 440C Stainless Steel for corrosion protection. It is particularly useful as a coating for bearings and bearing surfaces made of 52100, M-50, M-50 NIL, BG-42, 440C, and all pH basis metals. U.S.A.F. tests have shown that Armoloy® coating enhances bearings (both ball and roller), and does not affect nor induce fatigue nor change base metal characteristics. 

Plastic and Rubber Molding -- Plastic molders have better release characteristics and reduced die wear when molding abrasive materials.

Nuclear components exhibit better anti-galling and corrosion resistance properties.

Pumps with Armoloy® coated components handle corrosive liquids and materials with longer life.

Look for Armoloy® coating to greatly reduce maintenance and costly "down-time" expenses in such applications as the following:
Uniform Armoloy® coated male and female threaded parts increase lubricity, increase wear life, and provide corrosion resistance. Armoloy® deposits of .0001" to .0002" per side considerably improve the wear-life and corrosion resistance on de-boning tools.
Major OEM manufacturers are using Armoloy® coating as a standard for improving their bearing life and for corrosion protection. Precision Armoloy® electrocoated ball bearing races can replace expensive stainless steels, providing better performance, lower cost, and improved corrosion resistance.
Armoloy® Nodular Thin Dense Chromium can be used in any manufacturing capacity or supplemental role where lubricity, corrosion protection and wear-life are key factors. Armoloy® coated mold plates remain cleaner with less staining and material build-up.

Proven applications of Armoloy® Thin Dense Chromium Coating Include:
