RepliChrome
RepliChrome is a direct replacement for Hard Chrome
DMAG's RepliChrome coating is non-toxic, non-polluting, non-carcinogenic, and offers superior performance in ultra-high temperature and high durability applications.
RepliChrome is DMAG’s Tungsten-Boron-Nickel-Carbon Nanotube coating designed to replace Hard Chrome AND exceed its performance. It has achieved the ASTM B733 specification, which sets stringent requirements for autocatalytic nickel-phosphorus coatings applied to metallic products for high-temperature engineering functions.
DMAG’s INNOVATION - In high-friction scenarios, RepliChrome's advanced formulation demonstrates markedly reduced wear with 2 times less material loss. RepliChrome formulations can be applied to light metals (like magnesium or aluminum) to increase strength and durability, enabling heavier parts to be replaced with lighter weight components and assemblies made from aluminum, magnesium, titanium and steel.
REPLI-CHROME ADVANTAGES:
- UNIFORM DEPOSIT with NO ADDITIONAL POST MACHINING (uniform deposition; no dog-boning).
- BARRIER COATING resistant to oxidation, thermal degradation, and hydrogen embrittlement.
- Repli-Chrome is not subject to hexavalent chrome's weaknesses. RepliChrome has no brittleness or micro-cracking problems.
- Designed to withstand corrosive elements
- Acts as a suitable replacement to Hexavalent Chrome based - Formulation contains ZERO chromium.
- THERMAL PERFORMANCE: DMAG’s coating formulation withstands temperatures up to 4,000°F and provides 10x better heat dissipation than existing ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTC), with a thermal conductivity ranging between 3500W/mK and 5000W/mK.
- MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE: Utilizing Nickel Boron Tungsten coatings with a nodular structure, this innovation retains lubricants, enhancing performance and longevity. Nickel, Boron, Tungsten, and Graphene provide an extremely hard (1120HV), durable, and chemically resistant surface to protect against ablation from objects or atomic oxygen recession.
- ADHESIVENESS: DMAG’s formulations bond to exotic and light aerospace materials such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, steel, alloys, composites, and carbon fiber. This can be used to construct self-healing, dual-use structures and components. Additionally, strong composites can be made from light materials due to RepliChrome´s enhanced hardness and strength.
- SAFETY & NON-TOXICITY: RepliChrome serves as high-performance replacement to hexavalent hard chrome plating, aligning with modern sustainability standards. The process does not use environmentally damaging chemicals, it is free from carcinogens, VOCs, and pollution. Additionally, it is made from recycled engineered nanomaterials.
