O&S - Again in 2012 the international trade fair OBERFLÄCHEN & SCHICHTEN will be the No. 1 meeting point for surface technology. From the 12th to the 14th of June, 2012 the fair will be in hall 7 and 9 of the exhibition Stuttgart. The MTV Metallveredlung will present the innovative coatings NICABOR and NiL35 to a wide user audience as part of the WELT DER OBERFLÄCHE of the ZVO.

With NiL35, a coating combination of the two alloys Bronze and MProtect, the MTV Metallveredlung has already developed two years ago an alternative coating for Hard Chrome and its combination with Nickel for applications in high corrosive atmosphere like e.g. offshore or the chemical industry. During the past months the hardness (now ~850 HV) and scratch resistance of the top coat MProtect were further improved und with it recently the side load test with 8.827 t and 1000 cycles at Montanhydraulik for the end customer LIEBHERR was successfully passed. First comparative tests with MProtect as single protective coating show very promisingly results, that Hard Chrome could be replaced directly in various applications

Furthermore it shows; that this alloy has an outstanding resistance against intercrystalline corrosion and absolutely no wearing off happens. Therefore the MTV Metallveredlung will further increase the R&D activities and presents first results on the O&S fair in Stuttgart.
