Endura - Model Series 900 -Thermal Spray Coatings

Our 900 series thermal spray coatings offer outstanding and sustainable resistance to wear and corrosion in combination with enhanced release properties. Variants of this coating may also provide high heat stability, accelerated heat transfer, low friction, and non-stick from even the most aggressive industrial and pressure-sensitive adhesives utilized today.

Need something more? Consider Endura^®`s Infused Matrix™ coatings. These coating technologies are further reinforced with a variety of fluorochemistry enhancements which provide extra performance benefits including, but not limited to:

• Superior corrosion resistance
• Low-friction properties
• Non-stick properties

Created by means of a proprietary vacuum impregnation process, our Infused Matrix™ coatings are truly unique, providing all of the benefits of traditional Teflon or “Teflon-like” coating within a wear-hardened ceramic or sintered metal matrix. These surface conversion technologies create improved release, lower friction, enhanced corrosion protection, and a harder, more wear-resistant surface than other composite coating systems available today.

At Endura Coatings, we offer the Series 900 Thermal Spray Coatings for dispersing diamond particulates throughout an autocatalytic nickel alloy matrix. Our proprietary infusion process alloys us to apply and integrate diamond to most alloy surfaces for a wide range of applications.

Step 1: Our temperature controlled contamination removal from the top surface and sub-surface area.

Step 2: Our multi-faceted surface treatments.

Contamination Removal Via:

• Cathodic Arc Plasma Deposition
• Electron Beam Evaporation
• Glancing Angle Deposition
• Magnetron Sputtering
• Organic Evaporation
• Pulsed Laser Deposition
• Thermal Evaporation

Step 3: Thermal Spray Matrix Deposit. Sintered material is deposited onto substrate at a high velocity and temperature.

Step 4: Fluropolymer Deposit. The newly formed composite thermal spray matrix is vacuumed infused with sub-micron sized organic and inorganic reinforcements to optimize specific coating performance objectives.

Step 5: Fluropolymer Deposit. The newly formed, hardened, and bonded coating will not chip, crack, flake or peel.

Step 6: Fluropolymer Infusion. Different fluoropolymers are utilized to optimize specific performance objectives.

Suitable Coating Materials

Thermal Spray Coatings can be successfully applied to most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and titanium. 

Coating Thickness

Coating thickness depends on the specific Series 900 coating being applied, and may range from 0.003 inch to 0.020 inch per surface.  The majority of our 900 Series coatings are applied between 0.005 inch and 0.015 inch per surface, with a standard processing tolerance of ±0.0025 inch.  Tighter tolerances are attainable and may be held to ±0.001 inch per side with post coating grinding or lapping.  

Surface Finish (RMS)

The surface finish (RMS) will depend on the specific Series 900 coating applied, and will typically range from 200 to 300 micro-inches. RMS values as low as 30 micro-inches are achievable with post-coating grinding and lapping efforts. 

Hardness

Hardness values will range based upon the specific coating system applied, and typical values can range between 45 and 90 Rc. 

Wear & Abrasion Resistance

Coatings exhibit superior resistance to wear and abrasion, and may be applied in greater thickness to further enhance product life. 

Chemical & Corrosion Resistance

Series 900 coatings are resistant to most chemicals including acids, alkalis, and solvents, while exhibiting strong corrosion resistance. 

Release (Non-Stick) Properties

Series 900 coatings are engineered to provide excellent non-stick properties in aggressive application environments where traditional fluoropolymer coatings have limited life.  Our Endura^® 970 has a long-standing history of success for applications requiring non-stick from pressure-sensitive adhesives.  

Operating Temperature Range

Our Thermal Spray Coatings will withstand severe temperature extremes without any loss in physical properties.  The majority of our 900 Series coatings operate in environments from cryogenic temperatures to 600° F. Specific variations of our Series 900 Coatings are suitable for use environments up to 4,500° F.  In addition to their high heat stability, they also afford excellent thermal transfer properties.  

Electrical Properties

Series 900 coatings are nonconductive.  While these coatings are not often sought for their dielectric properties some are electrically insulating.  Values will range depending on the specific coating system selected and the thickness applied.
