[Case study on improving the lifespan of press molds] Enhancing the durability, fatigue strength, and sliding properties of precision molds, while minimizing shape changes and modifying the mold surface! Free initial tests available.
Alpha processing (patented) is a blasting process that uses extremely fine abrasives. It successfully minimizes changes in the shape and dimensions of the workpiece, surpassing conventional technologies to create a fine surface texture known as "microtexture" and a fine crystalline structure called "nanocrystals" through a peening effect. As a result, this treatment enhances "durability, fatigue strength, and sliding properties." It is suitable for maintaining areas such as: - Precision machining tools - Edges of punching tools - Surfaces of thin film coatings Since it improves the surface condition of the workpiece itself, there is no concern about peeling like with coatings. It also has a very high retention effect for lubricants and release agents, making it usable for mechanical components like cam slides and guide posts. **Features** - Sliding properties and anti-adhesion due to microtexture - Increased fatigue strength and hardness through nanocrystallization - Adaptability to various materials and fine areas - Can be processed without peeling even on coating film surfaces Free initial testing is currently available!
