Objective

The "problem solving" of this proposal is the replacement of hazardous hard chromium plating technology used today in the industry to coat different type of critical mechanical components (valves, pistons, piston rings, rods, hydraulic components) with an efficient and economic "clean" HP-HVOF technology using micro and nano-powders to avoid also the blasting and regrinding operations necessary today to use the plasma spray coatings.
