CONSUMER TESTS CONCLUSIVELY PROVE THAT SURFACES TREATED WITH ARMOLOY DEPOSITS OF .0001/.0002" PER SIDE ARE HARDER AND HAVE SUPERIOR ANTI-FRICTION, ANTI-CORROSION AND INCREASED LUBRICITY PROPERTIES.

	SPECIAL ARMOLOY PROPERTIES
ADHESION:	ARMOLOY will not chip, flake, crack, peel or separate from the base material under standard ASTM bend tests or under conditions of extreme heat or cold. ARMOLOY, being compatible with both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, allows maximum design selection of base materials. Aluminum, magnesium and titanium are not considered good candidates for base material selection.
HARDNESS:	ARMOLOY has an equivalent hardness in excess of 70 Rc when deposited. Measured by conventional micro-hardness methods, the host material will modify this measurement to some small degree. Vickers Diamond measurements produce a 1020-1100 hardness rating.
FRICTION REDUCTION:	MATERIAL AGAINST MATERIAL STATIC SLIDING Steel Steel 0.30 0.20 Steel Babbit 0.25 0.20 Steel ARMOLOY 0.17 0.15 Babbit ARMOLOY 0.15 0.13 ARMOLOY ARMOLOY 0.14 0.12
CONFORMITY:	ARMOLOY conforms exactly to the base metal surface. All threads, flutes, even scratches are reproduced in detail. RMS finish will improve slightly, to a low of about 8 RMS. Below 4 RMS the process may deter slightly. Internal and external surfaces on nearly all shapes and configurations can be uniformly processed. In general, slots or grooves less than .187 wide, having a depth greater than width, and bores less than .187 in diameter may not be uniformly processed (Such parts should be submitted for test runs). The finished ARMOLOY coated surface will have excellent lubricity qualities.
THICKNESS:	ARMOLOY coating will range from .000010" to .0006" per side. Normal proven average deposits are in the .0001" to .0002" per side range. Tolerances can be held to +/- .000025" on deposits up to .0002" per side. The ARMOLOY process does not create "edge build-up". ARMOLOY thickness is always in direct relation to the base metal, and will vary from one base metal to another. However, thickness established for each will remain constant and predictable.
EFFECT ON BASE METAL:	ARMOLOY will not significantly affect the tensile, yield or fatigue properties of the base material. It will not affect a growth of more than .0002" per side under normal conditions, eliminating the need to undersize designs in most applications.
HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT:	ARMOLOY processing and pre-process surface preparation prevents the embrittlement phenomenon from occuring. Preinduced conditions may not, necessarily, be removed.
CORROSION RESISTANCE:	ARMOLOY resists attack by most organic and inorganic compounds (except sulfuric and hydrochloric acids). Porosity of base metals and imperfect surface finishes can affect the corrosion-resistant properties of ARMOLOY. However, all base materials that are ARMOLOY coated will be enhanced.
HEAT RESISTANCE:	ARMOLOY will withstand temperatures of -400°F to 1800° F. At elevated temperatures above 1600°F it will react with carbon monoxide, sulfur vapor and phosphorus. At bright red heat oxidation occurs in steam or alkali hydroxide atmospheres. Hardness and wear resistance will be reduced, to some degree, at temperatures above 1600°F.
SAFETY:	ARMOLOY is FDA/USDA approved for use, without concern, on food processing equipment.
AESTHETICS:	ARMOLOY is used as the final coating on parts and equipment, imparting a beautiful satiny-silver "mat" or "micro-orange peel" finish.
SUBMISSION:	Parts to be ARMOLOY processed should be submitted with a drawing indicating the surface requiring ARMOLOY and areas not to be processed. Masking is generally not required. Material designation of the part should be specified. Internal as well as external areas can be readily processed.
FINISHING:	Parts should be surface finished prior to shipment to ARMOLOY. Removal of paint, scale, rust or corrosion, by ARMOLOY will result in extra charges. Surfaces will not be changed significantly in configuration by the ARMOLOY process. ARMOLOY will not fill scratches, pits, or dents, but will conform to such imperfections. Removal of oil, grease or protective covering that does not adhere will be done by ARMOLOY at no expense to the customer, except in cases of excessive applications.
SHIPMENT TO ARMOLOY:	All parts should be properly wrapped and preserved in order to protect against damage and/or corrosion and then shipped in suitable contatiners to give maximum protection, both prior to and after the ARMOLOY process. Hand-carried parts will be paper wrapped or bagged prior to delivery.
PRICE:	The cost of ARMOLOY processing is determined by the condition, configuration and surface area of the part. Cost estimates can be obtained from detailed drawing and actual costs determined by processing of test parts.
TESTING:	Sample test parts will be processed by ARMOLOY for a minmal charge. Test samples should be submitted with detailed drawings or a letter illustrating the critical areas where ARMOLOY is to be applied.

ARMOLOY is used across a variety of industries and for a multitude of purposes. With the ARMOLOY coating:

• Bearings and bearing surfaces can run longer and cooler and are comparable to a 440C S.S. for corrosion protection.
• Plastic molders have better release characteristics and reduced die wear when molding abrasive materials.
• Cutting tools experience longer wear-li.
• Nuclear components exhibit better anti-galling and corrosion resistance problems.
• Dies used in stamping, drawing, forming and blanking have sharper cuts and increases in work life.
• Engine and transmission parts such as valves, valve guides, pistons, gears and splines are protected without detrimental tolerance changes or variations.
• Standard built pumps and meters handle corrosive liquids and materials.
