Substrate(s)

  • Steel
  • Stainless Steel
  • Titanium
  • 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
