Is tool maintenance different with an TD coated part?
One of the many benefits of TD coating is a reduction in tool maintenance. You should notice a decreased need for grinding / polishing. In the event that galling does build up on the TD layer, do not use conventional hard fiber/carborundum/diamond media to remove! We recommend non-aggressive abrasives such as scotch-brite type discs, aluminum oxide papers (300-600 grit), or chemical removal of any build-up. This will protect the TD layer from damage and in many cases, allow the detail to be re-used.
