State-of-the-art PVD, CVD and PACVD Technology A Track Record of Performance Stamping and Cold Forming Ionbond s coating solutions exhibit the toughness, wear resistance, and galling resistance needed to improve the performance of punches, dies, and other tooling used in stamping, forming, and compaction applications. Advanced high-strength steels Stainless steels Low carbon and HSLA steel Aluminum and copper alloys Titanium and nickel alloys Coated and plated materials Hot Forming Forming applications performed at elevated temperatures are extremely demanding on tool surfaces. Ionbond PVD and Bernex CVD coatings possess superior toughness, reduced friction and resist corrosive attack and erosive and abrasive wear. They make the tool last longer and increase the quality of the work piece. Plastic Injection Molding With superior hardness and wear resistance, Ionbond coatings protect plastic injection molds from the abrasive wear caused by fiber reinforced and engineered resins, along with protecting critical mold surfaces from handling-related damage. The high density of the coatings protects mold surfaces from corrosive out-gassing of resins thus preventing pitting and improving part quality. The ultimate benefits of Ionbond coatings are improved resin flow, superior release, and improved part surface finish.

Added Capabilities and Services CVD for complex Shapes and Features CVD continues to find applications in the coating of molds, dies and forming tools. The nature of the chemical vapor deposition process makes it possible to coat surfaces that cannot be reached by a PVD process and makes it an ideal solution for tools with open dimensional tolerances, demanding materials and complex geometries. The coating materials include titanium-based nitrides and carbides as well as different forms of aluminum oxides and doped elements. Complex geometries Inner contours Demanding materials Quality Assured Ionbond tool coating centers hold an extensive range of international accreditations, including ISO 9001, ISO 9002, AS 9100, TS 16949, and are approved by numerous OEMs in the tool industry. On top of the quality system Ionbond has a mindset that focuses on the needs of its customers and constantly works on improving products and processes. Service Ionbond s services don t stop with the coating. It is committed to providing added services and value including surface preparation to meet the needs of its customers.
