7075 alumimium gear coating
(OP)
I'm looking for a coating treatment to lower Friction and Wear on this alu gear. This gear runs with nylon spur gear. Please advice and thanks so much.

Diamond Like Carbon coatings deposited by PACVD are another possibility.

RE: 7075 alumimium gear coating
please advise the AGMA quality of the gears in mesh?
how important is the Total Composite Error or Total Index Variation?
not enough info given.

I do not normally recommend Anodize on a gear tooth profile. but may be chromic or sulfuric acid anodize or dry film?

if it can be built it can be calculated.

RE: 7075 alumimium gear coating
I agree with you that anodized aluminum is not a good solution for gears that have high contact stresses, especially if the mating part is steel. I am guessing that this is a low load, low speed gear based on the mating part being nylon, so perhaps anodizing + dry film lubricant can reduce friction and provide acceptable durability.
