Coatings

How to choose the Best Coating System

For selecting the most appropriate coating system, different criteria should be taken into consideration, such as:

  • Maintenance type and strategy (predictive or corrective)
  • Wear resistance and thickness of coatings
  • Mechanical properties of coatings (pressure, impact, temperature)
  • Corrosion resistance of coatings
  • Surface position during the coating procedure
  • Amount of heat input during coating
  • Necessity for preheating or postheating
  • Repairability of coatings

Price/efficiency ratio, economic priorities and specific needs are other important criteria for decision making.
Furthermore, for repair coating it is of interest to know if dismantling is necessary or if in situ repair is possible.

Hardness test

The hardness tester forces a small sphere (Brinell, HB), a diamond pyramid (Vickers, HV) or a cone (Rockwell C, HRC) into the surface of a metallic material.
