As a design engineer I am looking for basic information on tungsten carbide coating:-
Advantages / Disadvantages
Description of coating process
Substrate preparation,
Comparison to Hard Chrome Plating,
Hardness values
The substrate material is 17-4 Ph.
Thanks
Mandy
can anybody please explain how the differences in co-efficients of linear expansion for chrome plating and 17-4 PH stainless steel can cause macro-cracks (crazing efect) after heat generated from post plate polish.
Thanks
Mandy
Can anyone please give me some information on possible causes for crazing on hard chrome plating (macro cracking).
I believe that high temperatures caused by grinding/polishing and pre-treatment of substrate are favourites.
The substrate is 17-4PH.
Thanks
Mandy
