ADHESION TESTER
The new PosiTest AT-A automatic
adhesion tester from DeFelsko
measures adhesion of coatings to
metal, wood, concrete, and other
rigid substrates and now features an
electronically controlled hydraulic
pump. The new electric pump
applies smooth and continuous pull-
off pressure at user-selectable rates.
The PosiTest AT-A makes adhesion
testing even easier. Now you can test
adhesion strength with the simple
push of a button. No twisting,
pumping, or cranking required.
New features include electronically
controlled hydraulic pump, user-
selectable pull rates for complying
with a variety of international test
methods, built-in rechargeable bat-
teries, convenient shoulder strap,
and AC power. A full digital keypad
allows the operator to easily select
dolly sizes, specify pull rate, change
measurement units, or store readings
with the touch of a button. For more

NEW COATING FOR TITANIUM
Hardide Coatings has made a signif-
icant technological breakthrough by
successfully developing a new
Hardide coating process specifically
for titanium. The tungsten carbide-
based coatings company has success-
fully coated its first titanium compo-
nents for customers in the U.K. and
U.S., and components manufactured
from titanium can now benefit from
the unique wear-, abrasion-, and
chemical-resistant properties of
Hardide.
The titanium project has been in
research and development for five
years but has been fast-tracked over
the last 12 months to meet increas-
ing customer demand from the aero-
space, defense, and Formula 1 indus-
tries. The company is now processing
small-scale commercial applications
for customers in these sectors and
plans to treat regular batches of vol-
ume parts later this year. For more
