- Increased resistance to wear in most
metals, plastics, nylon and other materials.
- Longer life from metal parts &
tools.
Some specific applications have shown an increase in life of up to 60
times. The increase depends on the alloy, application and prior heat
treating history of the item.
- Lower residual stress.
- Greater strength & toughness.
- Little or no change in yield or tensile
strength.
- Little or no increase in hardness.
- More uniform hardness.
- Greater dimensional stability.
- One-time permanent treatment.
Re-sharpening or redressing of worn tools
does not destroy the effects of the treatment. Tools may be new, used,
sharp or dull, prior to treatment. Less stock is removed during
sharpening, so the tool can be sharpened a greater number of times.
- Reduced downtime for changing or
sharpening parts.
- Reduced costs for tooling, downtime
& maintenance.
These benefits add up to higher efficiency
and lower production costs for your operation.
Other benefits:
- Lower electrical resistance.
Approximately 5-7% reduction in many alloys.
- Higher signal to noise ratios in some
electronics.
- Improved vibrational characteristics.
- More rapid and more even heat
dissipation, resulting in less warping.
