Duplex DUMATIC (TiCN)
Duplex DUMATIC (TiCN) – Highest levels of hardness and abrasion resistance for forming applications
The new DUMATIC coating is always produced as a duplex version, i.e. using a plasma diffusion process on the base material. The coating has a structured multilayer design with a high proportion of TiC (approx. 4,000 HV). The uppermost layer is designed as a low-friction and colored cover layer
Product Features:
- The DUMATIC coating produced using the PVD process at approximately 450 °C is deposited without any tool distortion
- Polished surfaces are thereby not roughened
- The DUMATIC coating displays a very low tendency for cold welding with high alloy stainless steel qualities
- Due to its relatively low oxidation resistance, DUMATIC is not suitable for higher contact temperatures which can occur with semi-hot forming processes, for example
