OUR Thermal DIFFUSION COatingS
Thermal Diffusion - Environment-friendly, cost effective corrosion protection
Our Thermal Diffusion Coating technology is an environment-friendly process that offers superior corrosion protection and wear resistance as well as anti-galling properties. Following are some highlights of the ArmorGalv® technology which is, in fact, a modern, greatly improved, version of the well established Sherardizing zinc/iron diffusion process:
By diffusing zinc atoms into steel, it creates layers of zinc/iron alloy on any steel part, including wrought and/or forged steel, castings, powdered metal (with no impregnation required!), and all grades of stainless steel, to create a surface that is:
- Highly Corrosion and abrasion resistant.
- Excellent anti-galling properties – a replacement for Cadmium.
- Controllable and precise - thicknesses from 0.0007” to 0.0060” (20-150 microns)
- Hard, non-magnetic, weldable and spark-free.
- Chip proof and can withstand crimping and bending.
- Highly heat resistant 1200F (650oC) continuous service.
- Excellent base for paint, powder coating and rubber bonding
- Particularly interesting for powder metal parts, requiring no impregnation and providing not only extremely good corrosion protection, but also improved mechanical properties.
- Hydrogen and molten metal embrittlement free. Not subject to strain aging (unlike HDG). High tensile, heat treated parts can safely be coated and protected.
- Works extremely well in harsh marine environment.
- Totally heavy metal free non-toxic (RoHS and REACH compliant). Recipient of the EPA’sMVP2 award (Most Valuable Pollution Prevention technology).
About Us
Why TDZ?
Steel and and non-ferrous metals face greater engineering challenges than ever before. Higher demands on metal components in Oil & Gas, Automotive, Aerospace, Military, Transportation and Construction, call for a proven, cost-effective, and environmentally sound coating. Atomic Alloys Thermal Diffusion of Zinc process makes an important contribution by providing an economical, ecologically viable coating solution that achieves these standards, in compliance with ASTM A1059.
Our Technology
We are a pioneer in the field of Zinc Thermal Diffusion, a method for coating and finishing industrial materials. Our process is time tested, and among the most modern and effective corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement protection methods for metal products. At the same time, our patented technology protects and improves the materials properties, whereby completely new fields of application may be developed.
Benefits
Just to name a few: Galvanic corrosion protection, Conductivity, Wear prevention, Corrosion value, Yield strength, Tension strength, Surface hardness, Non-sparking.
