About This Webinar
Wear resistant coatings are vital in applications where durability is crucial. These thin coatings effectively reduce friction and minimize mass loss during dynamic motion.

We've introduced BluCr®, the first Cr(VI), PFOA, and PFAS-free hard chrome plating to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives. This sustainable technology, paired with an electrolytic nickel layer, offers comparable benefits to traditional hard chrome plating and even exceeds the corrosion resistance of single-layer coatings.

Electroless nickel coating is a viable alternative known for its uniform thickness on complex shapes and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. This technique simplifies the process by resolving current distribution and anode-cathode orientation issues. The microstructure of electroless nickel-phosphorus deposit undergoes significant property changes based on phosphorus content. Newer generations of electroless nickel prioritize sustainability by replacing toxic lead and cadmium with alternative stabilizers and reducing operating temperatures.

Our expert speakers will discuss the pros and cons of trivalent hard chrome and electroless nickel plating, along with essential selection criteria. Gain insights into coating structures, explore their properties, and receive a comprehensive comparison. Real-world applications will be discussed to guide specific requirements.

Topics that we will cover in our webinar:
• Electroplating vs electroless: Basics and development
• Understanding wear resistant coating processes: Structure and insights
• Exploring main coatings properties: Outlook and comparison
• Applications and criteria for selection
• Takeaways for implementing effective wear resistant coatings
