What are some of the applications for the TRD coating?
General consumable tools. For example dies, jigs, fixtures, and cutting blades. b) Machinery parts requiring high performance – Resistance to wear. For example, contact with metal, rubber, plastic, glass, ceramics, mineral, and even non-metal material like plants. Records in Japan show that the die is most popular in weight and machine components in numbers. 27. Is the TRD process effective in a hot environment? Many people misunderstand that the TRD coating can’t work in a hot environment because VC starts to oxidize at 1020f. This may not be the case in a real world production. In the case of hot forging application, the working material is heated up to 1800F (1000C). However, the actual temperature of the die in use is below 1020F (550C). Even if the temperature were to rise above 1020F and begin oxidizing, the die would continue to have excellent wear resistance and extend the life of the die. So, the TRD coating would still benefit you in the end. The same could be said for the cu
