S &S MIST Zr Plus provides best results…. When the surface to be treated is smooth. The smoother the surface, the better response Zr Plus will provide.
You might consider having the pieces polished before requesting treatment.

MIST Infused Thin Film
Superior adhesion possible with diffusion and penetration into substrate inner- ‐granular boundaries Nano- ‐scale thin film becomes “locked” to host material During mechanical or chemical attack, residual effects remain: — If thin film is worn away, substrate retains performance characteristics — A result of the inner- ‐granular diffusion “alloy” layer Opens possibility to material substitution and upgrading
the wearing surface only

MIST Process Attributes
Wide variety of elements can be applied to metals, ceramics, glass and certain plastics.
— Many Oxide’s currently in wide application
— Choose from over 70 elements for various effects
Ultra- ‐thin film adhered to substrate
— Flexible in nature
— Conforms to surface (surface finish < 16 Ra is preferred) — No thermal coef. of expansion (CTE)
— Diffused into substrate – superior adhesion
Lubrication
— Film can replace lubrication in some cases
— Some formulations allow liquid lubricant to remain (i.e. used for bearings)
Surface Protection
— Corrosion protection
— Environmental Boundary Treatment (EBT)
