High Speed, Low Cost, Hard Chrome Replacement Coating Technologies for Improved Industrial Performance and REACH Compliance

High Speed, Low Cost, Hard Chrome Replacement Coating Technologies for Improved Industrial Performance and REACH Compliance

Status: Project
Date Announced: April, 2021
Project reference: 35159

In this project, extensive testing of coatings deposited using both technologies, EHLA (extreme high-speed laser application) and HVAF (high-velocity air fuel) spraying will be undertaken and benchmarked against hard chrome plating and current HCP alternatives such as high velocity oxy-fuel spraying. A fundamental understanding of the potential for both EHLA and HVAF will be gathered, with industrial drive and applications at the heart of the project. The relative cost and performance benefits of the new technologies will also be benchmarked against current state of the art industrial coatings.
