DIES & PUNCHES APPLICATIONS
Plasma Nitriding for Dies & Punches
Dies and punches used in metal forming are exposed to repeated impact, friction, abrasive wear, and extreme surface pressures. Plasma ion nitriding provides a hard, wear-resistant surface that can improve tool performance and extend service life while helping maintain the dimensional accuracy required for precision tooling.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
Advantages of Plasma Nitriding for Dies & Punches
Creates a hard surface designed to withstand the abrasive and adhesive wear common in metal-forming operations.
Improved surface performance can reduce wear and help dies and punches remain in service longer between maintenance intervals.
Hardens the working surface while preserving the strength and toughness of the underlying tool material.
Enhanced sliding properties can help reduce friction between tooling and the material being formed.
Reduced surface friction can improve material movement across die surfaces during forming operations.
Improved surface properties help tooling withstand repeated loading and demanding production cycles.
Low-temperature plasma nitriding helps maintain critical dimensions and tolerances in precision dies and punches.
Areas that require treatment can be precisely targeted while other surfaces are protected with masking.
Plasma nitrided tooling can often be placed back into service without additional machining or polishing.
Computer-controlled processing allows treatment parameters to be reproduced for consistent production results.
