    Hardfacing Materials

    Hi, This will cover a variety of components, but typically the material shall either be a 12% Cr, 2½% Ni steel or a Ni-based superalloy. The main wear mechnaism would be fretting (the components are gas turbine parts).

    Hardfacing Materials

    I would like to identify an alternative technique to electroplating for the application of a chromium carbide based hardfacing surface layer. Typically the layer would be 0.002" - 0.006" thick and should operate at temperatures of up to 700°C. The area to be coated is small and has a detailed...

    refurbishment of hard chrome plating

    I have been advised that, in order to refurbish a worn hard chrome plating on a component, I will have to completely remove the old plating and re-deposit a new one (i.e. onto base material). Is there any reason why the existing Cr surface cannot be activated and plated onto?
