What Are The Advantages Of Hard Coat Anodizing & Nickel Plating On The Parlec Systems?
We have engineered our aluminum and steel vises to outperform our cast iron competitors. Aluminum components are treated with either a hard coat anodizing or hard coat anodizing with teflon impregnation and steel components are finished with a nickel coating. • Hardcoat Anodizing – This is an electrolytic oxidation process performed on aluminum that produces a hard, durable, non-peeling surface that under normal conditions will never wear through. Anodizing is considered resistant to corrosion and abrasion, resulting in a surface hardness up to 60-RC. • Hardcoat Anodizing with Teflon Impregnation – Is a similar process that incorporates Teflon into the aluminum adding natural lubrication for moving parts. • Nickel Plating – This is a uniform plating process that results in surface hardness up to 70-RC and provides excellent protection against corrosion and abrasion resistance. This process also provides lubrication to allow metals to slide against each other without causing adverse wea
