Tribobond™ 31
Low stress wear resistant coating with smooth surface
Sub-stoichiometric Tribobond™ 31 Cr2N features lower residual stress than many other coatings from the Tribobond™ portfolio, including CrN. Since the coating is produced by sputtering it generally features lower roughness than cathodic arc coatings. Crystalline structure of this coating allows for excellent polishing properties. Tribobond™ 31 Cr2N also exhibits lower surface energy, making this coating more hydrophobic.
In general, Tribobond™ 31 Cr2N protects against abrasive and adhesive wear, impact fatigue, oxidation and fretting.
