PVD-PECVD and nitriding play crucial roles in the household appliance market. These processes improve performance, extend service life, and enhance the appearance of products. Thus they also meet the high expectations of consumers.
For example, HEF, thanks to its ARCOR™ treatment from theCLIN™, nitrocarburizing liquid range can treat the shafts of printing presses, an essential part that ensures precise movement of the printing heads and of the paper supports. Thus, all types of ferrous materials from forged iron to high-strength steel alloys can be treated.
This process combines thermal and chemical conversion with the objective of optimizing the performance of your parts. The surface treatment leads to improved mechanical resistance, increased corrosion resistance, better abrasion resistance, and a lower coefficient of friction. The combination of all these aspects enables increased robustness for your products, with no compromises.
HEF offers the CERTESS® LOOK (PVD) treatment that combines mechanical performance and decorative technical applications, and thus meets the increasing demands of consumers for products that are both functional and attractive.
Starting from a thickness of several microns, these surface coatings can be applied on a broad range of parts, whether made of steel, plastic, glass or other parts made of other materials. Perfectly adhering on the topography of surfaces, these coatings can be applied for a decorative objective or for high performance in the areas of abrasion resistance or low friction. Thus we can provide a metallic aspect to a gripping cradle that increases the performance of a rotating axle.
