Alumiunium

Temp. Ratings

Max Temp: 932°(500°C)

Thickness

Thickness (micron): 1 - 5

Color(s)

Gray

Process

CERTESS®NITRO TC is applied using lateral rotating cathode technology in a PVD (physical vapor deposition) process. Material is vaporized from a solid source in the form of atoms/molecules and then transported in the form of a vapor through a vacuum, low pressure gas/plasma to the substrate where it condenses.

Advantages

High hardness, Excellent abrasive wear resistance, Low thermal conductivity.

Abrasion Resistant
Adhesion Resistant
Erosion Reistant
