3. Applications for electroplated composite coatings

Depending on the nature of the dispersed elements contained in the metal matrix, composite coatings possess one or more of the following characteristics: anti-wear, anti-friction, anti-abrasion, anti-corrosion, etc.

This new family of materials can be applied in a variety of fields:

• dimensional adjustment of parts worn in service or undersized as a result of faulty machining;

• surface protection of new parts ;

• replacement of plasma flashlight spray coating processes (particularly for parts that can be deformed by heating);

• processing parts with complex geometric shapes ;

• bores for small-diameter parts ;

• thin and/or thick coating ;

• ...
