Some Examples of Production Applications
Using the Dia-Clust Diamond/Chromium Composite Coating
|
| Dies for powder metallurgy: |
Increases life up to 10 times compared to PVD and CVD coated dies. |
| Molds for plastic and rubber: |
Reduces mold injection pressure up to 25% while improving part release. Improve mold life up to 500% when molding glass filled materials. |
| D2 pelletizing knives: |
Increase life up to 300%, plus more regrinds from each blade. |
| Drawing and forming dies: |
Reduces galling and cold welding, improves part finish, dies last 2 to 5 times longer, and require less maintenance. |
| Aluminum die cast molds: |
Cores and dies last up to 300% longer. |
| Oil pump cylinders: |
Increases corrosion and wear resistance from 150% to 200%. |
| Internal combustion engines: |
Increases part life, while reducing friction, horsepower output increases of up to 7.5%. |
| Barrels of firearms: |
Increases life up to 40%. |
| Tube forming rolls: |
Reduces galling and cold welding on rolls, improving tube finish. |
| Tube sizing mandrels: |
Maintain size and finish on 304 ss, better than CrN, TiN and TiAIN/WC/C. |
Miscellaneous Applications
Dia-Clust diamond/chromium composite coating is utilized by design engineers to enhance the surface properties of a variety of materials. Now material selection can be broadened to include lighter, tougher, stronger, cheaper, or more corrosion resistant materials. Dia-Clust enhances the surface durability and lubricity of these materials much better than the traditional alternatives.
