THE FACE OF PERFORMANCE

Hardide Coatings is the leading global innovator and provider of advanced tungsten carbide/tungsten metal matrix composite coatings. Our coatings significantly increase the life of critical metal parts operating in abrasive, erosive, corrosive and chemically aggressive environments.

Our range of nanostructured coatings can be applied to a wide range of metallic substrates including stainless steels, superalloys, tool and carbon steels as well as nickel, copper and cobalt-based alloys, and are a recognised replacement for hard chrome and cadmium plating, ceramics and HVOF tungsten carbides.

HARDIDE COATING PROPERTIES

Applied by low temperature chemical vapour deposition (CVD), Hardide coatings offer a unique combination of protective and life-extending properties in one coating that can be applied to complex geometries and out-of-sight surfaces.

WEAR & ABRASION RESISTANT

Hardness, wear and abrasion resistance are key characteristics of Hardide CVD coatings
