Hi,
One of our customers has enquired if it is possible to produce intrinsically safe/nonsparking versions of our tools, which are hand operated hydraulic and mechanical spreading and lifting wedges/jacks, made mostly out of forged alloy steel; My initial stabs in the dark have suggested in no particular order, Xylan(fluoropolymer) coating, copper alloy plating, and possibly a PVD coating of some kind. Is there any data available about PVD coatings making steel parts nonsparking? One of the biggest problems I have encountered so far is I cannot find a national or industry standard defining what constitutes a nonsparking material/finish; can anyone enlighten me? The tools are curently sold with a xylan coating, but with that or cuprous alloy plating, there are concerns about durability and/or abrasion resistance. Can you provide any advice? cheers,

David I believe titanium is often used to make the tool itself. Stewart |
