C-Ramic's thermochemically bonded coatings are designed to give wear and/or corrosion protection to engineered components. There are many coating systems to choose from and this guide is intended to help you understand the underlying considerations used in the design of a C-Ramic coating.

The manufacture of a C-Ramic coating is completed in two parts:

1. The application of a (porous) ceramic coating
2. The densification (or "filling") of that coating It is the variation to the specification of coating and densification that determines the final surface properties

The following information is essential to ensure you receive the appropriate coating for your application:

• Name of Component (preferable)
• Working Application (what does it do?)
• Base Material (most important!)
• Working Temperature
• Wear Character (what type of wear)
• Erosion (what is the particular problem)
• Corrosion (what is the particular problem)
• Type of Particles (causing the wear/erosion)
• Particle Size and Velocity (preferable)
• Impingement Angle (of particles)
• Type of Fluids (causing the corrosion/erosion)
• P/H Value (of fluids/slurry)
