, which describes its surface enhancement technology for aluminum and aluminum alloys. The coating enhances aluminum parts by adding increased hardness, maximum corrosion, abrasion, chemical and moisture resistance, mold release, high dielectric strength In physics, the term dielectric strength has the following meanings:
  • Of an insulating material, the maximum electric field strength that it can withstand intrinsically without breaking down, i.e., without experiencing failure of its insulating properties.
 and low coefficient of friction coefficient of friction
n. pl. coefficients of friction
The ratio of the force that maintains contact between an object and a surface and the frictional force that resists the motion of the object.
. The brochure details the uniform coating thicknesses and tolerances of the product, which can be applied to parts of almost any configuration, weight, size or thickness, including close-tolerance parts. Results of a salt spray test Salt spray test is a standardized test method used to check corrosion resistance of coated samples. Coatings provide corrosion resistance to metallic parts made of steel, zamak or brass.  are shown, demonstrating how a coating of 0.002 in. withstood 15,000 hr and offered more than 40 times the minimum protection required by military specifications. In addition, a Taber Abrasion table shows weight loss of 10 mg or less after 10,000 cycles.
