Powerful alternative to hard chrome coating. It has high oxidation resistance with good ductility.

This PVD-deposited coating is used as a thin protective layer against frictional wear in non-dry applications and against abrasive wear, as well as a base layer for the carbon coating family.

CERODEM® CrN is a sputtered, smooth chromium nitride (CrN) coating. It has high oxidation resistance with good ductility. It is primarily used for components that must have good sliding properties at high temperatures. Its inherent topography, ductility and wear resistance therefore make this coating a high-performance alternative to hard chrome plating for suitable applications. Due to its behaviour towards polymers, the coating is ideal for plastic injection moulds and other polished moulds.
