Duplex-TIGRAL®
Duplex-TIGRAL®
Duplex-TIGRAL® – very high resistance to oxidation and abrasion
Drags, soldering, demoulding problems and wear are constant challenges in aluminium high pressure die casting.
At the same time, service and tool life time have to be extended.
Duplex-TIGRAL® is the unbeatable combination for your die casting molds, thanks to the increased edge hardness of the base substrate, coupled with the high temperature and chemical resistance of the PVD coating.
The unique chemistry of the coating offers protection from materials that corrosively attack the tool steel. This results in reduced adhesive wear and alloying between work material and tool steel which results in enhanced part release and greater productivity.
