Electroless nickel dispersion coating for wear protection
Situation:
Tool wear occurs during cutting and forming
- Temperature gradients and deviations
- Mechanical stresses
- Abrasion and surface fatigue
Solution:
- Development of wear protection systems based on chemical nickel dispersion coatings
Operational benefit:
- Reduction of wear
- Increase in service life
- Reduction of the downtimes for tool change
- Reduction of the maintenance time and costs of the tools
The projects funded by the European Union and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia investigate the following topics:
– DisperTherm: wear protective coatings for rolls in long product hot rolling process
– non-stick-FiReNi: the electroless nickel dispersion layers are currently being optimised for use on highly loaded cutting tools
