Duplex VARIANTIC
Duplex VARIANTIC – The layer with high oxidation resistance
Excellent cutting, forming, stamping and precision cutting results. The temperature resistant TiAlN underlayer, in conjunction with the hard and low-friction TiCN top layer, delivers a combination which presents clear advantages in numerous applications. In the area of cold forming in particular, excellent results are achieved when Duplex VARIANTIC is used.
Property features:
- Can be deposited on HSS and hard metal
- Substantial friction reduction
- Multilayer structure
- High wear resistance
- Tough, hard, and temperature resistant
up to 800 °C
Deposition technology
The deposition of the VARIANTIC layers is performed by means of PVD technology. This allows the deposition of the coatings on tool steels, HSS, cemented carbides or many other materials with temperatures less than 450° C.
