Ceramic Coatings On Aluminum

Ceramic coatings are used for increasing resistance to corrosion in metal surface by spraying zinc and aluminum.

Ceramic coatings on aluminum.

The nonstick part of a pan is actually just a coating applied to its surface which is why nonstick cookware is less durable than traditional cookware. Ceramic coat the low cost standard aluminum engine block. Ceramic coatings for metal parts. They can be used to achieve desired hardness on the surface of the metal components.

Most ceramic coatings are electrically nonconductive making them excellent insulators have a significantly higher level of abrasion resistance than most metals and are capable of maintaining their integrity under severely elevated temperatures sometimes up to 4 500 degrees fahrenheit. Before applying a coating it is important to ensure compatibility between the ceramic material and the metal surface. Endura s ceramic hard coatings are created with a proprietary immersion based spark deposition process which transforms the outermost layer of your aluminum or magnesium substrate into a ceramic oxide. Under an applied electric waveform the parent metal your work piece combines with elements in an acid based electrolyte to form a protective layer of ceramic.

Ceramic composite coatings series 100 ceramic composite coatings for aluminum magnesium substrates. That coating can scratch or wear. Use of high silicon aluminum such as the 390 aluminum. There are a wide range of ceramic coating materials that can be applied to metal components in order to enhance their functional properties.

Much of this compatibility depends on thermal expansion properties as having expansion rates that differ too greatly can cause a coating to crack when it is being cooled after application.
