MOLD APPLICATIONS
Plasma Nitriding for Molds
Molds used in plastics and metal casting are exposed to repeated thermal cycling, friction, abrasive wear, and demanding production conditions. Plasma ion nitriding creates a hard, wear-resistant surface that can improve mold performance and service life while helping maintain the dimensional accuracy required for precision molding applications.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
Advantages of Plasma Nitriding for Molds
Creates a hard surface that helps protect mold surfaces from abrasive and adhesive wear during repeated production cycles.
Improved surface durability can help reduce wear and extend the useful service life of molds and mold components.
Produces a hardened working surface while maintaining the strength and properties of the underlying mold material.
Enhanced friction and sliding characteristics can help improve performance at critical mold surfaces.
Reduced surface friction can help improve the flow of material across mold surfaces during molding and casting operations.
Improved surface properties can help reduce sticking, galling, and material transfer in demanding molding applications.
Low-temperature plasma nitriding helps preserve critical dimensions, tolerances, and mold geometry.
Specific mold surfaces can be treated while areas that do not require nitriding can be protected through masking.
Plasma nitrided components typically require little or no additional machining or polishing after treatment.
Computer-controlled processing allows treatment parameters to be reproduced for consistent results across production runs.
