Materials We Apply
Material selection is matched to operating conditions, substrate, and performance objectives. These are the systems most often specified for this application.
Advanced Surface Engineering Coatings
Surface performance often depends on more than wear resistance or substrate protection. APS Materials develops coating approaches that influence bond strength, frictional behavior, release characteristics, and material interaction at the surface level.
- MCrAlY (Nickel/Cobalt-Chromium-Aluminum-Yttrium Alloys)
- Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂)
- Nickel-Aluminum (NiAl)
- Nickel-Chromium (NiCr)
- PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
- Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt (WC-Co)
