Protective Coatings for Renewable Energy Applications
Metal surface treatments for renewable energy applications protect equipment from extreme weather, UV rays, and abrasive elements. These coatings reduce corrosion, wear, and friction, and enhance durability—crucial for maintaining the long-term efficiency and resilience of systems like wind turbines, solar panels, and hydroelectric facilities.
Armoloy’s advanced chromium coatings lead the renewable energy sector with over sixty years of expertise. Our surface treatments are designed for exceptional durability and reduced friction, effectively resisting harsh environmental conditions and mechanical stress. This ensures that critical components function reliably for longer, allowing renewable energy companies to maximize uptime and improve system efficiency, thus advancing sustainability goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
While thin dense chrome (TDC) and hard chrome are both considered functional coatings, TDC differs from traditional hard chrome in the thickness and surface texture. TDC coatings are in the range of 0.0001 to 0.0005”, while traditional hard chrome is usually over 0.002”, and can measure 0.010” or more, depending on the application. Because of the very low effective thickness, thin dense chrome can often be applied to existing designs without affecting tolerances or fit-up. In addition, traditional hard chrome has a microcracked surface while TDC has a micronodular surface. Both provide a low wear surface, but the micronodular texture can provide superior lubrication retention and wear resistance. Decorative chrome is another coating entirely and is actually a multilayer coating applied to provide an attractive, shiny surface with good corrosion resistance.
