Ceramic Coatings On Aluminum

The core of your nonstick pan may be made of several materials such as aluminum stainless steel or ceramic but what makes it nonstick is an added coating.

Ceramic coatings on aluminum. Endura s ceramic hard coatings are created with a proprietary immersion based spark deposition process which transforms the outermost layer of your aluminum or magnesium substrate into a ceramic oxide. There are a wide range of ceramic coating materials that can be applied to metal components in order to enhance their functional properties. Ceramic coatings for metal parts. That coating can scratch or wear.

Much of this compatibility depends on thermal expansion properties as having expansion rates that differ too greatly can cause a coating to crack when it is being cooled after application. Most ceramic coatings are electrically nonconductive making them excellent insulators have a significantly higher level of abrasion resistance than most metals and are capable of maintaining their integrity under severely elevated temperatures sometimes up to 4 500 degrees fahrenheit. Ceramic coatings are used for increasing resistance to corrosion in metal surface by spraying zinc and aluminum. The nonstick part of a pan is actually just a coating applied to its surface which is why nonstick cookware is less durable than traditional cookware.

Ceramic composite coatings series 100 ceramic composite coatings for aluminum magnesium substrates. Ceramic coat the low cost standard aluminum engine block. Use of high silicon aluminum such as the 390 aluminum. They are also used to repair surfaces of various machine parts like motor armature shafts.

Before applying a coating it is important to ensure compatibility between the ceramic material and the metal surface.
