Thin-film wear resistance coatings for stamping and forming applications offer significant value enhancement for metal and plastic part manufacturers. Not only by increasing the longevity of tools several fold, but also contributing to higher machine productivity and lower downtime, improved quality and finish of the formed part, lower die maintenance costs and reduced lubricant consumption.
IonBond offers the widest range of options for stamping and forming applications, including hard coatings through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Thermal Diffusion. Besides offering up to 15 different high-performance coatings specially designed for forming applications, Ionbond provides tool polishing and heat treatment services to complement these products. Our service centers have coating equipment capabilities to handle a full range of part sizes and volumes and can apply PVD coatings on tools up to 3 m long and weighing up to 2000 kg. As a result of our extensive application know-how and track record of proven performance, IonBond coatings are widely used today on automotive and appliance stamping as well as forming dies, plastic injection molds, die casting molds, hot- and cold-extrusion and forging tools.
To improve the service life and reduce costs we offer a complete-spectrum laser material processing, which is in addition to our offerings of thin-film coatings. This laser technology includes laser hardening, laser alloying and welding. Competent and experienced staff is skilled in the use of sophisticated laser processing equipment and is able to adapt its use to the application on hand.
