Diamond Chromium Coating
XADC - Armoloy® brings woldwide access to its advanced technology.
 Introduced in 1996 by The Armoloy® Corporation, the 98Rc XADC-Armoloy®
coating offers today's industrial design and engineering community
the opportunity to expand their options to enhance the performance
of their equipment and tooling. The addition of nano-diamond
spheres to the Armoloy® TDC coating technology is unique, but
still allows for cost effectiveness and rapid delivery to ensure
in-budget and on-time delivery.
The XADC-Armoloy® coating enhances the durability of components
used in wide range of applications from plastic injection mold
tooling to coating aerospace applications that require long life expectancy,
extreme wear protection, low frictional characteristics and corrosion
protection.
Absolute Adhesion
XADC-Armoloy® will not fracture from the basis metal unless the
metal substrate itself fractures or fatigues. The absolute, positive
adhesion that is created with the special application of XADC-Armoloy®
is a mojor benefit to its users. XADC-Armoloy® compiles to the
standard ASTM B 489-85 bend test without chipping, cracking or
separating from the basis metal.
Applied at temperatures under 200 degrees F (100 C) there are
absolutely NO changes in the basis metals that the XADC-Armoloy®
coating is applied to. Like Armoloy® TDC, XADC-Armoloy® will adhere
and perform well on all mojor ferrous and nonferrous basis metals.
Aluminum. magnesium and titanium are not considered good substrates
for coating with Armoloy® processes.
Comparative Hardness
Functional Temperature Ranges
XADC-Armoloy® withstands temperatures from -400º F to 1400º F
(-240º C to 775º C). At temperatures above 1200º F,
XADC-Armoloy® will react with materials such as carbon monoxide,
sulfur vapor and phosphorus. Temperatures above 1800º Fare
not recommended.
Friction Reduced with XADC-Armoloy®
 XADC-Armoloy®reduces friction to a greater degree than other
coatings in today's marketplace.
Testing indicates the inherent lubricity of XADC-Armoloy® may
reduce the need for lubrication, providing a cleaner and more
environmentally friendly workplace.
Galling conditions may be eliminated with XADC-Armoloy®, which
effectively allows XADC-Armoloy® coated parts to operate against
other XADC-Armoloy®; coated parts.
Corrosion Resistance
Tests have shown that XADC-Armoloy® provides corrosion resistance
exceeding 440C stainless steel. Corrosion tests utilizing ASTM
B117 procedures have met and exceeded the requirements found
in AMS-2438.
Basis material coated with XADC-Armoloy® exceeds performance
levels of uncoated materials multiple times. |
