Coating on stainless steel
Coating on stainless steel
(OP)
I am looking a coating/plating for stainless steel to add an extra layer of protection in a corrosive environment. The part is a 1/2 x 3/4 inch fitting, it is exposed to salt water and bleach, and the temperature exposed to gets to about 175 degrees F. I need to find a coating that is also abrasion resistant. I've never heard of coating stainless, but I guess the idea is that stainless can rust and the coating will add extra protection. If a little scratches/wears off, you still have the stainless beneath the coating. I suggested passivation, but they want the coating. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to help me get started, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

On the downside it won't help at all with the abrasion.
I agree with you, my first pass would have been passivation.
