PVD coatings are often used on plastic injection molding and aluminum die casting tools to improve the functionality and lifespan of the tools. We apply a thin, hard and wear-resistant layer to the tool parts with the following advantages: 1. Improved wear resistance: PVD coatings significantly improve the wear resistance of tools, reducing the need for frequent tool maintenance and replacement. 2. Reduced Friction: PVD coatings can reduce the coefficient of friction between the tool surface and the injection molded plastic material/aluminum, helping to make the injection/molding process smoother and less stress on the tool. 3. Corrosion protection: PVD coatings can protect the surface of tools from corrosion that can be caused by chemical reactions between the tool and the injection material or environmental influences. 4. Improved ejection properties: PVD coatings improve the ejection properties of injection/cast products from the tool. 5. Reducing the "diesel effect". In summary, the use of PVD coatings in injection molding and casting applications helps improve productivity, reduce costs, and improve the quality of injection/cast products.

CrN A coating that will protect your tool against oxidation. At the same time, this coating is suitable for all-round processing of copper. Coating can also be applied to tools at a temperature of around 200 °C. Pošljite povpraševanje Advantages Properties Applications Advantages Smooth coating and low coefficient of friction and bonding → Enables better gliding without sticking the material on the tool CrN-based coating → Provides excellent tool protection against oxidation while providing excellent adhesion Higher coating hardness → protection against wear and tool damage Properties Based on CrN Color: white-gray Nano hardness: 22+-3 GPa Coefficient of friction: ~0.5 Maximum processing temperature > 700 °C Coating can also be applied at lower temperatures Applications Use in copper applications Pressure injection moulding of plastic materials
