In what applications has ENHP been most successful?
ENHP is most successful in a corrosive environment, especially acidic. The amorphous nature of the as plated deposit affords better barrier protection to many industrial parts including ball, gate, plug, and check valves, blow out preventers, chokes, heat exchange equipment, pumps, compressors, tubing vessels, packers, and more. Its high ultimate tensile strength and acceptable ductility afford success in an abusive environment. It often replaces stainless steel and more exotic alloys used in compressor blades, turbines, valves, pumps, extruders, and blowers. For unmatched wear, composite coatings of aluminium oxide, boron carbide, boron nitride, or tungsten carbide in an ENHP matrix have achieved this success. For sliding wear reduction, a dispersion of 20 % PTFE in the ENHP matrix has proven effective. For hardness values orders of magnitude superior to hard chrome, composite coatings including dispersions of diamond and silicon carbide in an ENHP matrix have proven successful on met
