Advertising Coating
(OP)
Our marketing department has gone to great lengths to educate our clients to the benefits of ceramics...without actual testing. Lo and behold the ceramic parts do not show any actual improvement (other than larger commission dollars to said marketing department.)
Since we have sold this, now we must make the parts ceramic.
Anyone know of a "ceramic" coating that can be applied to hardened steel without causing a dimensional change greater than 0.002 mm? One that doe not cost more than the parts themselves (~1-2USD)?
I tried to sell the marketing types on a ferrite oxide coating but they wouldn't go for it...

Some firms can deposit the PVD coatings using low substrate temperatures, so as not to overtemper your hardened steel. I subscribe to the thought pattern that higher temperature of application leads to better adhesion, so you might think about steel selection and tempering temperature.
Good luck!

Or you may want to look at this type diffusion coating.

The are also CVD coatings that are diffused causing a small increase in size, a percentage of the diffusion depth . You would have to get a very thin coating to minimize the size change.
