Adhesion strength
The bonding off Duralloy® on the substrate is of molecular nature.
The adhesion of the chrome plating on the substrate is so intense, that parts of the substrate would be disembedded if the plating was removed by force.
Even under strafing with argon ions (Auger-spectrograph) until the surface cracks, there is no detachment of the cracked edging from the substrate.
Compared to other coating systems the Duralloy® layer has no irregular breaks of edges throughout the scratch and the ball indention tests.
