Ionbond™ 357
Oxynitride CrWN/(CrW)xOy coating for high-temperature forming applications
Ionbond™ 357 marks the next evolutionary step of our well-established Ionbond™ 35 (CrWN) coating with a proven track record in high-temperature forming applications, such as aluminum high pressure die casting. Ionbond™ 357 combines the superior mechanical and thermal fatigue resistance of Ionbond™ 35 under complex thermo-mechanical loads with an excellent resistance to abrasive wear and crack formation. Another unique feature of the top layer is its low coefficient of friction against steel and aluminum at high temperatures. This pays off in increased productivity and machine availability as well as improved product quality and minimized scrap rate in high-temperature forming applications.
The low adhesion tendency of the (CrW)xOy top layer towards common thermoplastics and elastomers minimizes adhesive wear and sticking of the plastic parts to the die and makes Ionbond™ 357 a viable alternative to traditional PVD TiN and CrN coatings in plastic molding applications. The excellent wear resistance of the supporting CrWN layer prevents abrasive wear of the die by the technical plastics and its additives, such as glass fibers and hard particles. The CrWN base layer in combination with the dense, amorphous (CrW)xOy top layer provides increased corrosion resistance compared to a monolayer TiN or CrN coating.
Technical data
Ionbond™ 01
Hardness, and wear resistance, makes it an ideal coating for blanking, trimming, and piercing tools as well as plastic injection molds for glass or fiber filled resins.
Ionbond™ 10
Higher hardness, wear resistance and lower coefficient of friction than PVD TiN make it a more efficient coating for tools employed in blanking, trimming, piercing, and plastic injection molding applications involving glass or fiber filled resins.
Ionbond™ 22
Ionbond™ 22 is an AlTiCrN coating that possesses excellent toughness, wear resistance, and galling resistance.
Ionbond™ 30
Toughness, wear resistance, and galling resistance make it an excellent candidate for light to medium forming applications, including those involving carbon steels, austenitic stainless steels, galvanized, prepainted or coated steels and copper alloys.
