MAGNAPLATE HMF is a proprietary, multi-step
coating process that creates an extremely hard
(up to an equivalent of Rc 68), mirror-smooth
(down to 4RMS), highly-reflective microfinish on
the surface of ferrous metal, copper or aluminum
alloy components. MAGNAPLATE HMF is capable of
reaching a microfinish of 8 microinches or less.
Since one of the most important variables in
friction measurement is microfinish, these two
properties are interrelated. In many cases, a
lower microfinish will result in a lower COF. A
low COF through a low microfinish is the primary
objective of MAGNAPLATE HMF.
Coefficient of friction: as low as 0.03
against burnished HI-T-LUBE®. Eliminates
"stick-slip" and undesirable vibration
of higher breakaway friction. Effectively
ensures against galling and seizing. Eliminates
generation of Lanier lines or similar stress
lines in sensitive plastic film processing.
The likelihood of galling or seizing is
virtually eliminated. Equilibrium Wear Rates
from Taber abrasion testing using a CS10 wheel
indicates an extraordinarily low weight loss of
0.2 - 0.4 mg per 1000 cycles. This is far less
than that of any conventional surface treatment
or many other high technology protective
coatings.
The suggested useful operating range is up to
650°F (343°C).
Salt spray per ASTM B-117, exceeds 336 hours
when thickness of coating is 0.001" or
greater. MAGNAPLATE HMF provides a level of
chloride protection that is vastly superior to
that of chrome plating.
