Hardide has been coating aerospace components since 2005 when it engineered a solution for BAE Systems on the Eurofighter Typhoon.

Hard Chrome Replacement

Hardide-A has been developed specifically to meet the needs of the aerospace industry and as a direct replacement for Hard Chrome which faces restrictions imposed by EU REACH and US OSHA regulations.

Hardide-A matches Hard Chrome in thickness and hardness and out-performs the material in corrosion and wear resistance. Hardide-A coats internal surfaces and complex shapes uniformly and has anti-galling and fatigue resistant properties.

Typical applications for which we provide coatings include:

• Actuators
• Pistons
• Bushes
• Turbine blades
• Valves
• Landing gear
• Pins
• Hooks
