Our Abrasive Coating is a single layer of hard abrasive particles, electroplated onto engine parts with nickel. It acts like fine-grit sandpaper against a soft seal surface, letting engines run with tighter clearances for better efficiency and safety.
Our Wear Coating is a tough coating made by electroplating chromium carbide particles into a metal base. Under heat, it forms a natural slick glaze that fights wear between moving parts. That glaze can be pre-formed with heat treatment, so it protects immediately instead of wearing in over time.
Together, these abrasive coatings extend Abrasive Technology's expertise beyond the grinding wheel itself, giving turbine manufacturers coating solutions that protect components long after machining is complete.
