ELTROPULS - Wear protection for your molds, tools and dies Eltropuls offers the following processes as a service, but also supplies the systems that enable you to perform them in your own facilities: - Plasma nitriding - PVD-coating - Combined treatment - Plasma nitriding and PVD coating in the same process. Top performance combined with minimal polishing effort Benefit from longer tool life, higher productivity and greater cost-effectiveness with an Elovation PVD coating: • Ideal protection against abrasive wear • extremely hard layers • reduced adhesion, such as the metal material sticking • improved mold filling and demolding • better surface quality • less polishing required thanks to extremely smooth layers ELOVATION: The combination treatment is performed in the newly developed ELOVATION systems. In our ELOVATION hybrid systems, a complete plasma nitriding process takes place first, during which support layers with greater penetration depth can be produced. Immediately afterward, the PVD coating begins without interrupting the vacuum or causing any significant cooling of the component or tool. This produces hard, smooth and ense layers with excellent adhesion in the shortest possible time. You save on blasting or polishing as an intermediate step, as well as, in most cases, polishing after coating. See the ELTROPULS quality for yourself and use this new technology for your components or tools! The additional benefits of Elovation for you are: - Creation of a base layer and wear protection in a single process - Production of smooth layers that often do not require post-polishing - Eliminates the need for the polishing step that is typically required between the nitridin and coating processes - Relatively cost-effective equipment - Even extremely large systems are available If you would like to find out more, please contact us! ELTROPULS treatment shop: ELTROPULS offers plasma nitriding, plasma nitrocarburising, oxidation, and coating as services at three locations.
