Ionbond Duplex Coatings Plasma Nitriding parts

Designed for impact: Ionbond’s high-performance coatings for forming and molding tools

Ionbond has a suitable coating solution for each of your applications. Ionbond™ 90 has been making its mark on the industry for more than 10 years and provides unrivaled performance in metal stamping applications. Ionbond™ 95 has a proven track record in hot forming steel and aluminum extrusion.

Ionbond also has a suitable answer to the sustained trend toward lightweight design in automotive manufacturing – Ionbond™ 42 for aluminum forming and trimming. In combination with a plasma nitriding layer, our physical vapor deposition (PVD) and plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) coating solutions are even more powerful. The increased load carrying capability of your duplex treated tools will help you achieve your goals for the most demanding forming and molding applications.
