ELECTROLESS NICKEL/TEFLON® SPECIFICATIONS

Description: TWR's Electroless Nickel/Teflon® is designed by the manufacturer to provide a high quality composite coating of high phosphorus electroless nickel containing a dispersion of 15 to 20% (by volume) occluded Teflon particles. This deposit is hard, ductile and has excellent friction characteristics. The Teflon particles hve a nominal diameter of 0.4 micron and are uniformly distributed throughout the nickel phosphorus matrix. Accordingly, unlike impregnated or topical coatings, as this composite coating is worn, a constant supply of new Teflon particles is exposed, maintaining a low coefficient of friction and excellent release characteristics. The Electroless Nickel/Teflon composite coating may be heat treated to either harden the elctroless nickel and further imrove its wear resistance, or to sinter the Teflon and produce a glazed, anti-stick surface. Properties: Density: 6.8 - 7.0 gm/cm3 Electrical Resistivity: 130 - 200 µ cm Thermal Conductivity: 0.12 - 0.18 W/cm °K Bond Strength: 60 kpsi Ductility: 0.5 - 1.0% elongation Thermal Expansion: 6.7 µ in/in/°F Hardness: 250 - 300 HK 100 Hardness (heat treated): 400 - 450 HK 100 Coefficient of Friction: 0.1 - 0.2
