The hardcoat anodize process can be accomplished through Black Fluorocarbon, Silver Impregnate or Anolube III. AnoLube III provides manufacturers with the low weight and low cost advantages of aluminum, the abrasion resistance of hardcoat anodize, and the lubricity of TeflonŽ. RIT's Formula SAE car included Anoplate's hard coat anodize applied to several components of the power train. The RIT car was chosen to participate in further international competition, where it was one of the top finishers. Its use on this car is proof positive of its resistance to abrasion.
Anoplate offers metal finishing services including plating of copper, nickel, chromium, zinc, cadmium and tin, various types of anodizing of light metals, conversion coatings such as passivate and phosphating, dry film lubrication, small lot painting, and vacuum impregnation. Vacuum Impregnation is an advanced modern porosity sealing technique. Let Anoplate take care of your vacuum impregnation processes and any other metal finishing services that you may need. For information on these and other quality cleaning, coating, blasting, lubricating, anodizing, etc. contact Anoplate at 315-471-6143 or visit our website at www.anoplate.com.
By varying the percentage of phosphorus, Anoplate provides a broad family of electroless nickel finishes that are formulated to meet precise engineering needs, which includes the electroless nickel ptfe. The trademark property of Anoplate's Enhanced coatings is their uniform thickness of deposit. Whereas conventional electroplating of complex shapes requires conforming anodes - which are sometimes difficult and costly to construct - no special fixtures are required when plating with the electroless nickel ptfe. The process using electroless nickel ptfe is effective on steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, zinc die castings, powdered metal, and non-conductive materials.
The latest edition to the long list of protective processes that Anoplate performs is an Electroless Nickel (EN) composite with Silicon Carbide (SiC). This deposit offers exceptional wear resistance for an eroding metal surface. It not only scored high in wear tests, it also showed itself to be superior to electroless nickel and hard chrome in Taber abrasion testing, a key component in tribology where rubbing surfaces, with varying degrees of friction and the presence of residue, combine to cause failure. In applications where a ceramic hard surface might be beneficial, Anoplate's Electroless Nickel (EN) composite with Silicon Carbide (SiC) might be an ideal choice.
Anoplate Black Chrome is a wear-resistant black finish used in military, aerospace, automotive, and other applications where a deep black is desired. Anoplate Black Chrome coatings meet the requirements of MIL-C-14538 and of various industry specifications. Selected both for its functional and decorative properties, it has numerous applications including :1. Military night sights2. Low light-reflectance components3. Optical guidance system devices4. Automotive buttons and knobs5. Avionic Fasteners and controls6. Medical diagnostic instruments Black chrome is wear resistant, highly solal absorbed and has Good thermal stability, Low infrared emissivity and a Pleasing black cosmetic finish.
