ceramic coatings'for^he prevention of wear and corrosion in a of industriaPapplications and for every type of surface. Bodycote offers^ unique range of thermochemically formed ceramic coal' ~ " ' ' ' ' ' ' wide, variety Bodycote's ceramic coatings, which includes the K-Tech coatings range, have been uniquely developed for applications in specific industries. Several formulae cover a virtually limitless number of potential applications which can be applied to most ferrous and some non-ferrous metals.

Advanced surface technology Bodycote's thermochemically formed ceramic coatings represent a significant advance in surface engineering technology. These exceptionally hard and wear-resistant coatings offer a number of advantages compared with other ceramics: ■ Substantially improved component lifetime ■ Chemically, not mechanically, bonded ■ Absolutely dense, pore free, corrosion barriers ■ Effective coating of complex geometries and internal bores ■ Low friction; the coated surface is anti-fouling ■ Protection from highly corrosive environments and chemical attack ■ Superior sliding wear...

Oil & Gas exploration Bodycote ceramics are extremely cost effective where expensive downtime is caused by component corrosion and wear. Applications include down-hole tools, mud rotors, pump sleeves, MWD (measurement while drilling) equipment, and various valve components. Internal bore applications such as valve actuators and hydraulic jars, previously chrome plated and now ceramic coated have seen significant life increase. Tech17 (Chrome Seal), for mud rotors, has improved down-hole life by five times. Aerospace As one of the first industries to fully adopt thermally sprayed treatments...

Mud rotors Corrosion and wear can lead to expensive downtime in oil & gas exploration, where equipment is in continual use. Mud rotors operate at the bottom of drilling wells, thus, the removal and replacement of worn rotors is particularly time consuming and costly. Following processing by Bodycote, the life of mud rotors is improved significantly. IA thermochemically formed ceramic surface treatment is applied resulting in a super-hard, corrosion resistant layer which protects the steel and gives superior wear resistance The steel is then machined into the rotor shape required for...
