Coatings for aluminium
Hi all,

I have an aluminium component about 150mm by 100mm and about 10mm thick which needs a coating with the following properties:

1) 700-1000 VH
2) coeff of friction of about 0.1 - 0.2
3) operating around 200 degrees centigrade intermittent

Any advice on possible coatings and ideas on cost would be much appreciated.

Regards,

bShah

Hi bshah

Sign0016 to the Surface Engineering Forum.

To suggest a suitable coating will really require you to give us a lot more information.

Quote:1) 700-1000 VH
This does exclude a large number of coatings, but still leaves many coatings to choose from, but this in itself is not a good critera for selection where thermal spray coatings are concerned. Hardness does not always equate to wear resistance or strength very well.
Quote:2) coeff of friction of about 0.1 - 0.2
This in itself does not mean very much, as environment, couterface material and surface finish are big factors.
Quote:3) operating around 200 degrees centigrade intermittent
This is a very important consideration, but again a very large number of different coatings would be OK.

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for your reponse. In this application a hardness of 700-1000 VH will give enough wear resistance. The coeff of friction of 0.1-0.2 is desirable against a machined aluminium surface in a mildly acidic environment. The component to be coated is also machined aluminium.

RE: Coatings for aluminium
Hi bshah

I'm sure many could suggest coatings that fit your criteria, may be anodising or a thermal spray coating or other. I would not feel comfortable or confident that any of these potential suggestions would in fact be suitable or not for your actual application. Making a good coating selection can be a difficult task even with detailed information of the application. If you are confident in a coating meeting just your property criteria, try looking at a few coating material catalogues and choose a few that match Rolleyes Are you really confident these will work or be the best selection? Are you really sure a coating hardness of 700-1000 HV will give enough wear resistance or be best for your application? Basically, we need far more information about your application, before we can even think about suggesting a suitable coating.

Regards Gordon
