What are we able to coat?<br />
• Substrate size/weight:<br />
<strong>–</strong> Max.dimensions: 700 x 1000 mm (external SPC L1500)<br />
<strong>–</strong> Max.weight: 600 kg<br />
• Coatable material:<br />
<strong>–</strong> Metals like high speed steel, cold and hot work<strong>in</strong>g steel, sta<strong>in</strong>less steel, carbide, cermet.<br />
Requirements for hardened steels: temper<strong>in</strong>g temperature > coat<strong>in</strong>g temperature<br />
<strong>–</strong> Copper and Alum<strong>in</strong>ium type: please contact us<br />
• Surface f<strong>in</strong>ish and hardness:<br />
<strong>–</strong> Blank material: no oxide layer, not chromed, ….<br />
<strong>–</strong> Clean, free of residues: no silicone, no glue, no pa<strong>in</strong>t, no plastic, no burrs, ….<br />
<strong>–</strong> Roughness: Ra ≤ 0,3 µm and Rz ≤ 3 µm<br />
<strong>–</strong> Hardness to be 55 HRc or more to avoid eggshell effect.<br />
<strong>–</strong> Demagnetised if possible.<br />
• <strong>Coat<strong>in</strong>g</strong> zone:<br />
<strong>–</strong> Always a zone without coat<strong>in</strong>g, due to fixation of the tool<br />

Three common processes are usable for steel treatment (salt, gas, plasma).<br />
Plasma nitrid<strong>in</strong>g gives the best result to <strong>in</strong>crease hardness.<br />
It´s a stable proces which produces clean surfaces (no compound layer)<br />
