Dopant is an additive that seamlessly integrates a ceramic phase secondary material into the plating bath which produces an oxide dispersion strengthened, nano-reinforced coating.
About
Cirrus Dopant™ is so effective because it seamlessly integrates secondary particles into metal coatings which improve the material in three ways: oxide dispersion strengthening, grain refinement, and pre-stressing. Dopant™ is an additive that introduces a ceramic phase secondary material to the plating bath that is stabilised by the electro-chemistry of the bath. No powder-mixing is required, nor handling of nano-particles. The stabilised particles then co-deposit into the metal coating. The particles are uniformly distributed, usually
