Armoloy® Thin Dense Chromium (TDC)

Armoloy® TDC is a low-temperature, multi-stage metal finishing process derived from chrome-plating technology.

Unlike conventional chrome-plating processes, Armoloy utilizes proprietary chemical solutions and unique application techniques that are carefully monitored to produce its TDC (thin dense chromium) coating, which follows the exact contours of the basis metal with accurate deposit thicknesses.

Value-added benefits of Armoloy® TDC Coating:

  • Reduced wear and friction of moving parts
  • Enhanced corrosion resistance
  • No chipping, cracking or peeling from the basis metal
  • Improved release characteristics on plastic molds
  • Reduced maintenance and machinery replacement costs
  • Smoother, faster and quieter running equipment
  • 78 Rc surface hardness

Low Friction Coefficient: Armoloy is a low-friction coating. Its low coefficient of friction is invaluable in situations where extreme temperatures are involved.

Uniform Deposits Without Thickness Build-up:
Deposit Tolerances
.000050/.0001" ± .000025"
(1-2,5 microns) (± 0,05 microns)
.0001/.0003" ± .0001"
(2,5 - 7,5 microns) (± 2,5 microns)
.0002/.0004" ± .0001"
(5-10 microns) (± 2,5 microns)
.0004/.0007" ± .000150"
(10-18 microns) (± 3,75 microns)

Standard deposits are in the .0001/.0003" per side range.

Resists Corrosion: Armoloy resists attacks by most organic and inorganic compounds with the exception of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids.

Of course, base metal porosity, surface hardness and other imperfections affect basic corrosion-resistant properties.

Conforms to ASTM-B117.

Armoloy Takes the Heat: Armoloy withstands temperatures of -400º to 1600º F.

At temperatures above 1200º F Armoloy® will react with carbon monoxide, sulfur vapor and phosphorus. At bright red heat, oxidation occurs in steam or alkali hydroxide atmospheres.

Hardness and wear resistance will be reduced, to some degree, at temperatures above 1200º F.

Safety First: With Armoloy's strength also comes safety.

USDA approved and FDA compliant for use on food processing equipment and pharmaceutical applications.
