In my February 2021 column, I introduced a nanotech product called NanoGalv
® offered by Modumetal (www.modumetal.com). NanoGalv
® is being clad onto fasteners to give them strong anti-corrosive properties.
This month, I want to cover a similar product offered by ModumetalâNanoPlex®. This product is very similar to NanoGalv
®, employing the same nano-laminated alloy structure, as shown in Fig. 2 in my February 2021 column. However, unlike the zinc-nickel alloy used in NanoGalv®, NanoPlex® is a cobalt-nickel nano-laminate alloy. NanoPlex
® enjoys superior corrosion resistance, as well as enhanced wear resistance in the harshest subsurface environments.
