Latest coating technology and premium coatings at Ionbond India
Ionbond India is pleased to announce the expansion of their coating capacity with a new Hauzer Flexicoat™ 1250 PVD coating system with CARC+ capabilities. “We now have increased availability of our Plus range of coatings for cutting tools and premium coatings for forming and molding tools,” says Atul Kulkarni, Executive Director for Ionbond India. “With this new coating system, we can now serve more customers from a location closer to them, with a shorter delivery time.”
The combination of specialist coatings for a range of tools supports the whole manufacturing trajectory in India: with the right cutting tool coatings, manufacturers of forming and molding tools can reach more cost efficiency. With the right protective coatings for forming and molding tools, manufacturers can have many advantages: a longer service lifetime, improved productivity, excellent product quality, minimized scrap rate and reduced machine downtime.
Improving manufacturing efficiency in all industries
“Around the end of the Covid pandemic, manufacturing in India got a large boost ,” says Atul. “Large investments have resulted in a good manufacturing platform and hub for engineering. Right now, India is the fastest-growing economy in the G20 nations, with growth in all industries, including aerospace, automotive, and the medical sector.” This growing manufacturing industry means that there is more pressure to be cost-effective and take advantage of state-of-the-art coatings and technologies to be more productive.
For cutting tools, Ionbond India now offers the Premium Plus coatings in more locations. Among these high-quality coatings, two are especially interesting in today’s manufacturing climate.

AuroraX Plus
This is Ionbond’s premium coating for increased tool lifetime and versatile machining performance. With a tailored composition and nanocomposite multilayer microstructure, AuroraX Plus has the optimum properties required to withstand the extreme cutting conditions that typically arise during machining difficult-to-cut materials.
Tetrabond™ Plus
Ionbond developed this coating specifically to improve tool lifetime and maintain the cutting edge during machining of non-ferrous materials, which are widely used in various sectors such as automotive and aerospace.
Ionbond India also has a state-of-the-art technological setup for gear-cutting tools.
For forming and molding tools, the new technology platform also extends the available coating portfolio in India with three premium coatings for a range of very challenging forming and molding applications.
Ionbond™ 90
Is designed to provide superior performance in a wide variety of metal forming applications, especially the most demanding cold forming applications. It is a viable alternative to chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coatings, even more in the combination with a nitride layer (duplex coatings).
Ionbond™ 95
This is Ionbond’s premium coating for hot forming applications with a proven track record in hot forging steel. It is particularly suited for processing non-ferrous alloys such as in aluminum extrusion and aluminum high-pressure die casting.
Ionbond™ 357
Our latest addition to Ionbond’s coating portfolio for forming and molding applications. It combines a superior mechanical and thermal fatigue resistance with an excellent resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear. Its chemically inert top layer makes Ionbond™ 357 the ideal candidate for reducing sticking and release forces in your plastic molding application.
