  • Nickel-coated aluminum racing horseshoe
    Patent number: 4480698
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns a formable cast aluminum alloy horseshoe having an electroless ductile metal coating having a hardness greater than that of the aluminum alloy, such as a coating of phosphorus nickel. This coating increases the wearable life of the aluminum horseshoe for quarter horse racing horses from a few days to almost a month, and its formability without cracking of the coating permits better fitting to varying sizes of hoofs.
