Composite coating – nickel/silicon carbide (commonly known as NICKEL, with varying spellings) is carried out by electrolysis. It is composed of a matrix of electrolytic nickel and very hard, fine particles of silicon carbide (3000 Vickers) distributed throughout this matrix. These particles give the coating exceptional wear resistance and an extremely low friction coefficient.The cylinders must be sent to us disassembled (valves, studs, etc. removed) with a new piston (we can supply this), in good quality packaging to avoid knocks and bumps during shipping.
We will charge 30€ to disassemble the cylinder.
