Magnaplate HCR® is becoming the "go to" coating in the thermoforming of blisters from PVC/PVDC laminates in forming, filling and sealing machines.
A company that manufactures seismic streamers relies on Magnaplate’s Tufram surface treatment to prevent wear and stick-slip issues.
Learn how an embroidery machine maker relies on an engineered coating from General Magnaplate to prevent corrosion and wear issues.
When two objects make contact with each other, there's going to be resistance, or friction, between the surfaces. Friction causes wear and affects the performance and operating life of components, so it’s important to minimize it.
No matter your industry, there will be times when you need to coat a part — whether to protect it from conditions in its target application, improve its performance, extend its lifetime or simply to enhance its aesthetics.
This video shows how General Magnaplate fortifies your engineered coating by infusing polymers into the substrate and applying a proprietary sealing process so it becomes an integral part of the new surface.
When you learn that a company has earned AS9100 certification, you know it is committed to continuously improving its operations.
If your part is made from a high-strength metal or alloy and has undergone proper finishing processes, it’s easy to be confident that it will be immune to damage when used in the field.
Aerospace environments involve some of the toughest conditions for equipment. Threats like friction, galling, corrosion and high temperatures can cause some of the industry’s most common metals and alloys to fail.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. General Magnaplate was part of the Apollo program's success from the beginning, both on the ground innovating surface coatings for space exploration and, later, on the moon protecting the drill tubes that sampled the moon's soil and rocks.
General Magnaplate's Arlington, Texas, facility has expanded to keep pace with our substantial growth over the last five years.
Magnesium alloy surface enhancement coatings prevent wear, outgassing and more in aerospace applications.
Communicating early with your coating vendor to discuss base metal choices can limit issues later in the design process—especially if your part has tight tolerances.
Canadize surface coating lowers the coefficient of friction of titanium substrates and prevents hydrogen embrittlement.
Choose the right surface treatments early to increase a part's lifespan, cut downtime and reduce overhead.
Following basic tips when designing parts for coatings will prevent problems during the coating process.
