Armoloy enhances performance and protects against adverse environments, far exceeding the useful life span of the base metal alone. More specifically, Armoloy applies unique surfacing techniques that deposit a thin dense micro-nodular structured chromium directly to the base metal. Armoloy is most commonly applied where enhanced wear life, corrosion resisitance or reduced friction is required to provide better performance. Armoloy is a low-temperature, process based upon chrome-plating technology. Instead of using conventional chrome-plating solutions and parameters, the Armoloy process utilises a proprietary chemical solution. This solution and application process produce a very thin, dense chromium coating. Armoloy deposits a crack-free satin matte finish of 99.9 percent chromium on the base metal surface, compared to conventional chrome-plating which is 82 to 88 percent chromium range.
