Infinium E Applications

Cutting Tools:

  • Easier machining of difficult materials, such as copper and titanium.

General:

  • Better wear properties.
  • Can be polished to have the appearance of hard chrome plating.
  • Use as a wear coating where increased toughness and corrosion resistance are required.

Molds:

  • Injection molding-decreased wear and sticking of plastics.

Automotive:

  • Corrosion-resistant coating for sliding parts.

Medical:

  • Increased lifetime of components that need repeat sterilization.
  • Anti-corrosive and anti-sticking properties make it easier to maintain cleanliness and sterility of component.
  • Excellent biocompatibility.
  • External and internal medical devices.

Forming Tools:

  • Improved forming tool life in dies.
  • Adhesion and shock resistance for high load applications.
  • Hot hardness and oxidation resistance for hot forging applications.
  • Flanging dies, drawing dies, extrusion dies, punches and forms rolls.
