Hardide Coatings, provider of advanced surface coating technology, has invested a six figure sum in new technologies that will strengthen its service and delivery capability; these include a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and equipment to further improve the pre-treatment process.
The company has enhanced its analytical capabilities by investing in the latest SEM technology to image and analyse coatings at the sub-micron level. This allows imaging of chemical elements in extremely fine detail and strengthens the company’s understanding of coating issues and behaviours.
Hardide Coatings develops, manufactures and applies nanotechnology tungsten carbide-based coatings to a wide range of engineering components. The company’s patented technology is unique in combining a mix of abrasion, erosion and corrosion resistant properties in one coating. The company is part of AIM-listed Hardide Plc (LON:HDD).
