-----Can we spray and bake "single layer graphene"?
June 29, 2016
I am making wire products from color coated wires and need to coat the forming dies and paper punching tools with single layer graphene for high degree of anti-wear properties and lower friction. The electro zinc coated wires tend to wear out the dies very fast.
Also I want to coat graphene on plastic and rubber products to increase their exterior scratch and wear properties. HOW DO WE SPRAY GRAPHENE IN VERY THIN MICRO LAYER AND BAKE THE COATING FOR BEST ADHESION TO SUBSTRATE?
Interested to discuss and develop special hard coatings for consumer and industrial use.

A. Hard wear resistant coatings like TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, CrN etc are used for such applications. DLC ( diamond like carbon ), WC-C, TiC-C etc are used as top coat for reducing friction. People talk of extraordinary properties of graphene. I don't know if graphene coatings have been commercialised for such applications.
