Tribomet Coating Process: Important Proprietary Process Note

Summary for tribomet coating process Discussion

Tribomet coating process for steel bushings is identified in the thread as a proprietary electroplating process, so the original request for authorized providers is answered only in general terms. S.B. Manjunath asked whether Tribomet coating could be applied to bushings, requested companies authorized to do it, and asked for an alternative process. The only technical reply, from Bala Balachander, says it is a proprietary electroplating process and advises contacting Praxair Surface Technologies. The editor also notes that the RFQ is outdated and that public commercial suggestions are not allowed, so the thread does not provide a list of vendors or a specific substitute coating. The practical takeaway is that anyone needing this finish should seek the process owner or an authorized source rather than assuming it is a generic coating available from multiple shops.
