Ionbond™ 95 Concept

Next generation PVD Coating for premium performance in metalforming, hot forging and die casting applications

Ionbond 95 is a new, revolutionary coating with superior fatigue resistance, excellent abrasive wear resistance, and a high oxidation resistance. This combination makes it the preferred coating over other coatings for hot forging applications. The high abrasion wear resistance of Ionbond 95 also make it suited for die casting applications where erosion is the primary failure mode of the tool.

The excellent fatigue and wear resistance characteristics of Ionbond 95 also make it an excellent solution for the piercing, cold forming, and trimming of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) materials.

Ionbond 95 is deposited between 400 and 450° C. The process allows coating of a wide variety of tool materials below their respective tempering temperature. This ensures that no softening or dimensional changes will occur. Ionbond 95 is also capable of being combined with nitriding.
