Industrial coatings for the Oil, Gas, Defence, Sealing, Auto and General Engineering industries
To compliment the manufacture of precision engineered components, the LoneStar facility in Leeds UK also offer a wide range of surface coatings and treatments. Whether it's for anti corrosion, wear resistance or anti gauling applications, LoneStar is able to offer a solution to ensure customer requirements and specifications are met.
Surface Coatings
Electroless Nickel Plating
|
|
- High electroless nickel plating designed for high corrosion resistance and high wear resistance
- Having a standard hardness of 500-600 hv, it can also be heat treated to a hardness of 1100 hv
- Gives an even deposit regardless of component form and typical deposit thickness is 0.0002 inches to 0.003 inches (5 microns to 80 microns)
|
Xylan Coatings
 |
- A PTFE coating used where low co efficient of friction is required along with wear resistance
- Used to prevent scoring and gauling
- Protects against atmospheric corrosion
- Available in numerous grades and colours and is generally applied after phosphating
|
Molybdenum Disulphide
 |
- A graphite based coating providing lubricity, corrosion resistance and anti gauling properties
- Good heat and chemical resistance at high temperatures
- Can be applied as a base coat only or with an additional top coat for increased properties
|
Epoxy Coatings
 |
- Provides good corrosion and abrasion resistance
- A wide variety of paint systems to suit most applications/environments
- Available in a wide range of colours
|
Surface Treatments
Manganese Phosphating
|
|
- A formulated solution designed for the conversion of iron and steel surfaces to a heavy weight, smooth and compact magnaese iron crystalline structure
- Can be used prior to other coatings to improve adhesion or as a stand-alone process with oil to give excellent lubrication and corrosion resistant properties
|
Shot Peening
 |
- Induces compressive stress into the surface of the component thus increasing crack resistance
- Steel or glass media can be used depending on customer requirement and application
|
White Pickling
 |
- Etching process used to remove contamination from the components surface
- Assists the prevention of surface oxidisation of duplex and super duplex materials
- Safe and environmentally friendly chemicals used
