How will the coating process affect part tolerances?
Many coatings require temperatures in excess of 1,800ºF for extended periods. This can anneal tool steel, compromise physical properties, and cause components to warp. Some customers have told us they previously had to make several parts in order to ensure that they would have one usable item after coating. The patented FortiPhy coating process goes on at 950º F, very low compared to most high-performance coating processes. This typically eliminates the need for rework after coating.
