WEAR AND FRICTION: Dura Plating's nodular surface finish reduces the area of coated surface exposed to parts in contact with it, thereby substantially reducing the wear and friction rate. Furthermore, the nodular surface holds lubricants longer, thereby reducing more wear and friction. REDUCED SURFACE AREA + DURA PLATINGS HARDNESS + LUBRICANTS = LONGER WEAR LIFE AND LESS FRICTION NO CHIPPING, CRACKING, PEELING OR HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT: Due to Dura Plating's unique processing and pre-processing techniques, Dura Plate bonds directly to the base material (a surface alloying effect) with accurate deposit thickness. Surface preparation prevents embrittlement from occurring. Dura Plate will not affect the tensile, yield, or fatigue of the base material.   SURFACE FINISH THICKNESS AND HARDNESS: An important aspect of Dura Plate is the deposit thickness of the coating, which is applied at a thickness of .000050 inches to .0002 inches. This is a beneficial factor in that a thinner coating can be applied with a higher degree of uniformity to hold high tolerances with no edge build-up, eliminating the need for any post-coating operations. Another important aspect of Dura Plate is the surface hardness. Dura Plate has a 70 to 72 Rockwell “C” hardness value. This measurement will vary during micro-hardness testing depending upon the hardness of the base material to which it has been applied. Dura Plating should not be used as a substitute for heat-treating to achieve a definite hardness in the base material. CORROSION RESISTANCE AND HEAT: Dura Plating resists attack by most inorganic and organic compounds with the exception of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. Dura Plate will meet or exceed 440C stainless steel in corrosion resistance in many applications. The porosity and any imperfections in the base material as well as surface hardness will affect basic corrosion-resistance properties. Dura Plate can be used in a temperature range of –300°F to 3000°F.   CONDITION OF PARTS TO BE DURA PLATED: All parts being sent to, Dura Plating Inc. to be processed must be machine finished, ground, or polished prior to shipping. All heat treat scale or rust must be removed by the customer. Dura Plating Inc. will remove normal oil or grease used as a protective coating in shipment. Dura Plating Inc. is not responsible for any masking that is required. A drawing should be sent showing which areas need to be plated. PRICING: Due to Dura Plating Inc.’s ability to re-cycle rinse water and use non-hazardous materials in its pre-processing of parts, Dura Plating Inc. is highly cost efficient when compared to other coatings. All pricing will be done by quotation from a drawing or actual part. Estimates done over the phone can be subject to change. Quantities may also affect pricing.   BENEFITS OF DURA PLATING: Reduces wear and friction Enhanced corrosion resistance No chipping, cracking or peeling Reduced maintenance and replacement costs 72 Rockwell “C” hardness .000050 to .0002 thickness range No hydrogen embirttlement Direct bonding to base material (surfacing alloying affect) Anti-galling properties Uniform finish No edge build up Eliminates post-coating procedures No negative affects on base material (yield, tensile or fatigue) Holds high tolerances Low costs Quick turnaround
