Armoloy (UK) Ltd. is the sole UK processor for the Armoloy Thin Dense Chromium (TDC) process.  Supplying a wide range of industries where exacting quality, finish and accuracy are critical, Armoloy (UK) is acknowledged for operating stringent process and quality systems.

What is Armoloy TDC?

Armoloy TDC is a hard, thin, dense chrome coating with a micro-nodular surface texture that was originally developed to protect a wide range of tools and components.  Developed by Chicago based Armoloy, 50 years ago, the Armoloy TDC process is based on chrome-plating technology.  Instead of using conventional chrome-plating solutions and parameters, the Armoloy process utilises a proprietary chemical solution.  The solution and application process are carefully monitored to produce a very thin, dense chromium coating.

Continuous product development has led to Armoloy being used in an ever increasing number of applications including bearing faces, tools and dies, pumps, plastic and rubber mould tooling, nuclear and aerospace parts, hydraulics, food and processing equipment, medical, pharmaceutical and a variety of components operating in abrasive, high friction and corrosive environments.

Value-added benefits of Armoloy TDC Coating:

• Reduced wear and friction of moving parts
• Enhanced corrosion resistance
• No chipping, cracking or peeling from the basis metal
• Improved release characteristics on moulds aned dies
• Reduced maintenance and machinery replacement costs
• Smoother, faster and quieter running equipment
• 78 Rc minimum surface hardness
• Vickers Diamond measurements produce a 1050 hardness rating. (now 1400Rv)
• Complies to AMS-2438a (10/98)
