According to a new study by consulting firm Thintri, hard chrome has health and environmental hazards, so it highlights some alternatives in wear coating technology. Photo \u00a9 Bigstock.com\/VASilyeVAS<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWear Coatings: Hard Chrome and Its Alternatives, 2016\u201d is a new market study by consulting firm Thintri projecting significant opportunities with chrome alternatives in wear coatings.<\/p>\n

The study highlights the movement from traditional hard chrome and common chrome replacements, such as thermal spray, to a range of new technology poised to capture significant markets in wear coatings.<\/p>\n

Traditional hard chrome plating has relied on the use of hexavalent chromium solutions, which is linked to some health and environmental hazards. The tightened restrictions on hazardous materials resulted in alternatives\u2014the main one being thermal sprays like high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF).<\/p>\n

More alternatives include hard trivalent chrome, a long-sought method of plating chrome without using hazardous hexavalent chrome. Another is electrodeposited nanocrystalline cobalt-phosphorous (NCoP), which includes raw materials that are pricier than chrome, but provide 90 percent efficiency compared to chrome\u2019s 20 percent. Lastly, electroless nickel (EN) improves the wear properties by adding small particles like Teflon, which is added to improve lubricity, and diamond or silicon carbide, which improves wear resistance.<\/p>\n
