Anyone use Armoloy “Thin Dense Chrome” ?? It’s not your typical chrome.
I use it in the food industry and it is shockingly good.
It is:
-Only .00005inch thick—no buildup.
-A molecular bond, so no flaking or peeling on steel or SS. Aluminum is the only trouble for TDC.
-Satin! Darkish gray.
-Incredibly low coefficient of friction. And its favorite surface to slide on…it itself! TDC on TDC.
Its wear characteristics are astounding. I could go on, but it’s so good at making wear resistant and corrosion resistant parts….that my secret in food-machinery design is sometimes it’s more corrosion resistant to make a part of high carbon steel and add TDC coating to it than it is to make it from stainless. Abrasive products like peanut butter that would consume a hardened stainless pump lobe in 6 months….now last 1.5 years (and maintenance is just sending them in to be stripped and new TDC reapplied).
