Duplex-VARIANTIC®-1000
Duplex-VARIANTIC®-1000 – Anti-aging for your forming tools
Forming high-strength sheets with tensile strengths of up to 1,000 MPa poses technical challenges for the tools. The abrasive wear of the tool edges quickly leads to an unclean forming of the sheets. With a coating thickness of around 9 μm, Duplex-VARIANTIC®-1000 significantly minimizes wear and thus extends tool life.
The coating structure not only ensures special hardness, but is also so ductile that a very stable coating system is created.
