Discover all our lessons on Duplex Coatings
Lesson 1: The correct heat treatment of tool steels
Available on 31. July 2024
Duplex coatings are especially suited for forming and molding tools. Before we can get started with that, though, we need to take one step back and look at how your tool has been treated before it arrives at Ionbond – whether it has had the correct heat treatment.
Lesson 2: Plasma nitriding of tool steels
Available on 7. August 2024
We are diving into the plasma nitriding process, a nitriding method with high reproducibility and close tolerances in the treatment result. Discover what it is exactly!
Lesson 3: Duplex coatings and their layer properties & performance
Available on 14. August 2024
We will look at the result of plasma nitriding. Two layers form, each with their own characteristics – some of which are very much desired and others are not.
Lesson 4: Shallow plasma nitriding plus Ionbond™ 35 & Ionbond™ 90
Available on 21. August 2024
We are going into one of the two types of duplex coating we will discuss. These two ways are differentiated by the depth of the plasma nitriding layer. In this lesson: shallow plasma nitriding.
Lesson 5: Deep plasma nitriding plus Ionbond™ 90
Available on 28. August 2024
In Lesson 4 we looked at shallow plasma nitriding. Now, we are going to look into duplex coatings for the most demanding applications, which require much deeper plasma nitriding layers.
