- Features
- The aluminum in the Infinium A converts to aluminum oxide from the heat in these high-temperature applications creating a ceramic layer in the coating.
- The oxidation onset temperature for Infinium A is 900°C, which is one of the highest commercially available oxidation temperatures for a PVD coating.
- Infinium A has a violet-black color and its hardness properties can be tailored by varying the aluminum content of the coating.
