Precision Engineering
We can offer customers a full technical consultation service, working together to solve their surface engineering problems, reducing cost, improving performance and extending component life cycles.
We develop and apply sophisticated coating solutions, for use in many engineering applications.
We provide our customers with surfaces that provide:-
- Wear resistance
- Surface release
- Friction reduction
- Thermal protection
- Corrosion protection
Our flexible production facilities deliver fast turnaround times and can cope with one-off large complex components or high volume production runs.
Within the nuclear industry, chains operating in a warm nitric acid environment quickly become dry and are subject to extreme corrosion. The hoist chains and sprockets are required to be made from carbon steel rather than stainless steel because of the wear characteristics required for this application. Surface Technology developed dry film lubrication that resisted the corrosive atmosphere and provided the lubrication required, significantly reducing the down-time and expense of changing these chains in a radioactive environment.
