ARMOLOY  reduces scrap rates and lowers labor costs in the automotive industry. The smooth, micro nodular surface allows for a reduction in the use of lubricating agents during each run, which substantially reduces clean-up and set-up times. ARMOLOY reduces premature wear and pick up, allowing more hits per run and less maintenance related downtime. When maintenance is required the ARMOLOY coating can be welded without compromising the coating. The ARMOLOY coating is guaranteed not to chip, flake or peel from the substrate. ARMOLOY is especially successful in Die applications that require forming galvanized material or aluminum. All types of nitride surfaces can be successfully coated.

Proven Applications include: • Blanking Dies • Forming Dies • Punching • Draw Dies • Progressive Dies • Extrusion • Trim Die • Hot heading • Roll Thread Dies • Cold Heading • Coining

Benefits:

• Stamping Applications show sharper cuts, no burrs, and smoother finishes
• Progressive Dies can be sharpened after dulling occurs, introducing new ARMOLOY to the edge
• Hex head trim dies show sharper cuts and smoother finishes whether used in hot or clod headed operations
• Punch holder sets have less wear, and increased corrosion protection
• Hot pierce punches strip from the hole without pick-up after punch is used on the forging
• Reduces galling and sticking of metal on operating surface of punch
