Quality Coatings hardcoat anodizing, also known as hard anodizing, exceeds wear
characteristics of other hard coatings for aluminum anodizing such as electroless nickel, hardchrome, and ceramic. Hardcoat anodizing is exclusively available from Quality Coatings of Spokane Washington.
Hardcoat anodizing process produces superior hardness and denseness — when a part is
hardcoat anodized, it increases the micro finish 2-5 times, depending on the alloy.
- Hard anodizing provides unmatched wear properties
- Hard anodized coatings wear as well as or better than hardened steels
(HRC values of 70)
- Hard anodizing can achieve salt spray resistance in excess of 1000 hours.
- Hard anodizing can achieve very tight tolerances.
- Hard anodizing has a High dielectric strength to 2000VDC.
- Hard anodizing has superior Heat dissipation
- Hard anodizing provides excellent wear, corrosion, electrical and heat resistance, up to 6,
in length
- Bright anodizing and satin anodizing available
- Natural anodizing and black anodizing
- Hard anodizing has tight tolerance
- Selective anodizing coating and anodizing masking
Some industrial applications of Hardcoat anodizing include highly intricate
parts such as pistons, anti-lock brake assemblies, pump components, valves, sliding parts, insulation plates
and transmission parts.
Recent anodizing developments, such as lubricity, have added a new dimension to
the successfully hardcoat anodized product without altering the tolerances of the Hardcoat anodized part. When
a customer requires a finished piece that will be subject to friction under close tolerance conditions and where
a solid film lubricant would cause problems, a lubricant after the hardcoat anodizing process could be the
answer.
