depends much on your intended application.

What is the base material?-Jitney
Thanks for all of your replies - more infomation;
Substrate is high strength steel max process temperature is ~400 degrees. Due to the application being on a bore, line of sight processes may not be suitable unless PVD has been delveloped for internal application?? Dry film lubricants are just not tough enough or reliable enough for the applcation. I believe accurate application to threads precludes use of thick deposits and HVOF type processes .
Copper electroplating, maybe?-Jitney
Dear Nick,
You need a solid lubricant coating to achieve a friction coefficient
Thanks Mark, I am aware of these coatings, but can they be applied successfully and evenly to an internal threaded bore ~4" Diameter?
