Activa keeps cool with Mo coating

摘要

Dowding and Mills recently put its years of surface technology knowledge into action for Activa Technology whose wind tunnel belt kept jamming owing to frictional over heating. Activa Technology was spending a fortune on expensive man made belts in the tunnel as the cheaper 'industry standard' belts would stick after just 15 min. After an hour of operation a temperature rise of 60 deg C was recorded expanding the metals and rendering any tests invalid.An expert in surface technology, Dowding and Mills offers a wide range of surface coatings, which can meet almost any requirement, and includes electroplating, metal or ceramic spraying, and special polymer coatings. In this instance molybdenum was selected for use.
