C35

Our metallic refractive coating C35 is a Cr-based hard coating and was developed using our HDP technology (High-Density Plasma). It showed exceptionally good results in fine blanking of Cobalt-Chromium-Nickel alloy. C35 is also very well-suited for mould coating in the processing of special metals such as copper, brass, bronze, nickel silver, galvanised or tin-plated sheet. In addition, it is proven effective for die casting aluminium, zinc, as well as in warm forming of steel and brass. As a results of its resistance to corrosion, the C35 coating has been successfully implemented in the food industry as well as in motor components for the sport steel as well as in the aeronautical industry.

C35 is an extremely compact coating characterized by a high microhardness between 35 and 40 GPa, an optimal surface texture, a low rate of growth defects as well as a fine microstructure. The C35 coating is very easy to polish which leads to an extremely smooth surface and excellent results in a variety of applications. As a result of its low chemical affinity as well as its smooth surface, C35 shows excellent results in applications where cold soldering and smearing on are dominant wear mechanisms and where anti-sticking properties are needed.

The C35 PVD coating is a technical and economical alternative to several DLC coatings in particular applications.

All values are dependent on the application, on the ambient environment and test conditions.
