HVOF Coatings Improve Durability, A Better Choice to Chrome Plating

Written by Admin | Mar 10, 2021 12:01:04 PM

Atlas Machine and Supply’s application of HVOF coatings provide a longer-lasting alternative to traditional chrome plating. In most cases, Atlas can apply HVOF coatings on steel mill roll bodies, piston rods, internal pump surfaces, and other surfaces as a replacement for less-resistant chrome plating.


And most important, the HVOF coatings last three to five times longer than chrome plating. Other advantages of Atlas HVOF over chrome plating are:

  • Provides superior hardness in excess of 1150 Vickers
  • Results in a coating of less than 1% porosity
  • Capable of providing a wide range of coating materials to meet the specific demands of the application

Atlas Machine and Supply also provides its customers with certain advantages not usually offered by competitors, such as: 

  • Atlas performs all processes--from prepping to finishing--in house.
  • Atlas provides full engineering support services.
  • Atlas has quicker lead times and can typically turn a job around faster than chrome plating
  • Atlas’ state-of-the-art HVOF coating booth is environmentally friendly.
  • Each completed HVOF job comes with Atlas’ Quality Guarantee.
