Below are examples of parts we have processed. Due to NDA's with our customers, we are limited to sharing only some of the parts we process.
Automotive transmission components coated in MoS2.
Automotive transmission components coated in WS2.
At F.A.S.T we can coat almost any size part. These are injection molding mandrels where we coat just the upper section in WS2. Our customer was previously using PTFE, however it wore off too quickly. They successfully tested our WS2 coating and now only use our product.
WS2 coated motorcycle engine parts - camshafts, crankshaft, wrist bearings, chain, babbitt bearings, and lash caps.
An injection mold coated in WS2 which was used to supply syringe bodies for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Lens barrel coated in FAST ML-5+. PTFE was flaking off and WS2 didn't pass the wear testing. The surface finish on the part was an RA 8 in the slots, so our FAST-ML-5+ solution was used to retain the finish and provide a longer lubrication life.
Radial bearings coated in WS2. Although the balls and raceways are mostly blocked, we have a proprietary method to ensure they are fully coated. The best method is to coat the inner/outer raceways and balls prior to assembly.
Threaded ends of linkage rods coated with WS2 for assembly purposes. The customer was originally using a liquid-MoS2 product which was baked on, but there were too many inconsistencies with coating thickness. When the part was assembled, the coating was coming off and at times preventing proper assembly. Our WS2 solution limited the coating in all areas to less than .5um, which eliminated the problems with the dip and bake solution.
A sample chain in MoS2. The best method to coat a chain is prior to assembly, however this one was coated fully assembled.
