Ionbond™ 10

PVD coating for use in metal forming and plastic injection molding applications

Ionbond™ 10’s 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™ 10 exhibits excellent performance in ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) and advanced high strength steels (AHSS), aluminum alloys, nickel alloys and titanium.

The high hardness, toughness, and low coefficient of friction of Ionbond™ 10 make it a good candidate for tight dimensional tolerance, high pressure forming applications of ferritic stainless steel alloys, HSLA alloys and AHSS alloys. Deposition as a duplex coating by combining Ionbond™ 10 with nitriding of the tool material will significantly improve the tool performance.

Ionbond™ 10 is deposited at 425°C. It is recommended that tool materials are tempered above >450°C in order to avoid softening or cause dimensional changes during coating.
