Hardide Coatings

Hardide Coatings is the leading global innovator and provider of advanced tungsten carbide/tungsten metal matrix composite coatings. Our coatings significantly increase the life of critical metal parts operating in abrasive, erosive, corrosive and chemically aggressive environments. Hardide ® is a family of low temperature CVD (chemical vapour deposition) tungsten carbide based coatings which provide exceptional wear, corrosion, galling and fatigue resistance and uniquely combine enhanced toughness and ductility with high hardness. Our coatings are value adding to metal components and lower operational costs by reducing downtime, increasing productivity and improving performance. They can be precision applied to internal and external surfaces including complex geometries, enabling a level of engineering design flexibility not possible with alternative coating technologies. The coatings have many comparable advantages over other hard facing coating technologies: • Exceptional toughness, flexibility and impact resistant • Coats internal surfaces and complex shapes uniformly • Withstands deformations and shock loads • High hardness • Chemically resistant • Very low porosity • Smooth finish • Machinability and facilitated finishing Production facilities in the UK and USA. Certifications and qualifications include AS 9100D, ISO14001 and NADCAP. Aeropsace customer approvals include Airbus, BAE Systems, Leonardo Helicopters, Lockheed Martin and Triumph Group.
