LorX tool coating — precision and productivity when machining non-ferrous materials

The next generation for machining non-ferrous materials

introduction

This innovative carbon-based coating combines outstanding physical properties with an eye-catching, brilliant rainbow look. It is specifically designed for the demanding processing and forming of non-ferrous metals and polymers and sets new standards in precision and productivity.

Technical specifications

• layered material: Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon (ta-C)
• layer hardness: > 65 GPa
• Friction coefficient (dry): < 0.10
• Max. application temperature: > 500°C
• layer thickness: 0.3 µm
• coating temperature: < 150°C

benefits

Maximum performance Thanks to the extremely hard and smooth TA-C coating Material adhesions are minimized and ensures that the cutting edges remain sharp. This extends the life of the tools and increases efficiency.

Diverse applications Ideal for cutting and punching non-ferrous metals as well as for use in injection molding. It was developed specifically for materials such as aluminum alloys with a high silicon content and copper alloys.

Technological excellence The coating offers improved surface quality and higher process reliability, which leads to a significant increase in productivity and precision.

Longer service life LorX has a 20% longer service life than conventional DLC coatings. This reduces maintenance costs and extends production cycles.

Application examples

• Non-ferrous metal processing: Particularly suitable for aluminum alloys with a high silicon content and copper alloys.
• injection molding processing: Excellent for processing polymers.
• Die-cutting and forming: Offers superior performance in the processing and forming of metal parts.

conclusion

This coating is revolutionizing surface technology with its impressive technical specifications and diverse benefits. It not only offers excellent physical properties and aesthetic benefits, but also an extended service life, which results in higher production cycles and lower maintenance costs.
