The success formula for efficiency in punching and forming BALINIT ® hard coatings are only a few thousandths of a millimetre thick, but harder than steel and chemically inert. That’s why they sustainably reduce tool wear, cold welding and friction. More and more companies rely on BALINIT ® in their punching and forming operations to boost productivity and quality. 02 Lower costs - due to less tool wear - reduced lubricant consumption - fewer tool failures - calculable tool changes The result: you cut manufacturing costs across the board. Greater productivity - due to substantially longer lives - higher cycle frequencies - reduced machine idle time - less workpiece finishing effort The result: you can punch, form and fine-blank with greater cost-effectiveness. BALINIT ® hard coatings developed by Oerlikon Balzers are applied in vacuum processes at temperatures between 200 and 500 °C. They considerably increase surface hardness and feature exceptional wear resistance and good sliding properties. Even after coating, tools fulfil all requirements relative to dimensional accuracy and edge sharpness. Higher quality - due to smoother surfaces - better dimensional stability - higher degrees of metal deformation - fewer manufacturing steps The result: you can establish higher standards in manufacturing. Less environmental impact - due to the use of environmentally friendlier lubricants - reduced lubricant consumption or even dry machining The result: you conserve resources and spend less on consumables.

You cut costs across the board Less is more – particularly in the context of tool wear. Here, the remarkable hardness of BALINIT ® coatings makes a tangible contribution to cost savings in several respects. Cost factor: wear BALINIT ® protects the functional surfaces, cutting edges and drawing radii of punching and forming tools against abrasive wear. Thus, tools coated by Oerlikon Balzers can produce a multiple of workpieces without annoying burrs and grooves before the tool must be reground or repolished. Other advantages: less material removal in the regrinding process and a longer useful life. Cost factor: longevity BALINIT ® coatings prevent adhesion and cold welding. Because of the reduced friction, the tool surfaces are exposed to less thermal stress, which prevents crack-inducing surface fatigue. The result: BALINIT ® -coated tools have clearly longer service lives. Cost factor: tool failure Depending on the tool load and the number of load changes, tools can fail prematurely due to material fatigue. Experience shows that BALINIT ® -coated tools are exposed to less stress because of the lower coefficient of friction and reduced susceptibility to cold welding. Your benefit: less scrap and machine downtime. uncoated BALINIT ® C Tool costs (EUR) 3,445 4,065 Tool life (parts) 50,000 89,600 Tool costs per part (EUR) 0.07 0.05 Yield per min.

Cost factor: lubricants Conventional punching and forming presses consume large amounts of lubricant. In many cases, low-friction BALINIT ® coatings reduce the amount of lubricant needed. Under certain circumstances, they even allow a switch to dry processes. Whatever the case may be: you will see a substantial reduction in lubricant costs. Cost factor: quality BALINIT ® -coated tools prevent cold welding and fretting, which noticeably improves the surface quality of the workpieces. In the real world, this means a significant reduction of scrap and subsequent machining effort. 03
