Summary: Five different coatings were tested; hard anodizing, nickel teflon, plasma anodizing, PVD and a plasma coating. The different surface treatments were tested by hardness, wear resistance and adhesion to compare and see if one of the surface treatments would show a unique use for the PU casting purpose.
