Coatings for Machined Components
Enhancing Durability and Efficiency for Precision Machined Components
enhance machined part life
The Purpose of Coatings
Coatings protect machined components from wear, corrosion, and thermal stress, ensuring durability and precision in demanding industries like aerospace and automotive. Thin dense chrome and ceramic coatings, for instance, provide hardness and abrasion resistance, extending the lifespan of these critical components.
In addition to protection, coatings improve efficiency by reducing friction and enhancing surface properties. Options like PVD or electroless nickel create smoother finishes and chemical resistance, enabling machined components to perform reliably in harsh environments. These benefits lower maintenance costs and boost the overall value of machined components.
Coatings and Surface Treatments
Designed for high-precision applications, Armoloy coatings and surface treatments won’t affect tight part tolerances, making them ideal for precision applications requiring increased wear, corrosion, and lubricity properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we can assist you with those additional services, we are your one stop shop for any pre or post plating needs.
The coating itself has no inherent RMS reading of its own, Armoloy mirrors the surface finish of the base metal. The Armoloy process will negatively affect surface finishes less than 8 RMS due to the preprocessing of the base metal.
Yes, both operations can be performed after the coating is applied. During machining, tool life may be negatively affected due to the high hardness of the coating. There are no adverse side effects from welding or brazing after coating. Alternatively, parts that require machining can be shipped back to Armoloy to be stripped prior to machining.
