Wear protection for sheet metal forming.

NOVA tailors coating, polishing and, where needed, surface hardening to the tool, material and process.

Drawing ring with punch, sheet and blank holder

Punch and die

Reduce wear
Protect tool surfaces where they are under load.
Reduce friction and material adhesion
Optimise the contact surfaces for the specific forming process.
Keep tools in service longer
The aim is longer tool life and fewer interruptions caused by wear.

Applications & services

Stamping & forming

Punches, dies and fineblanking tools

Coating and finishing depend on contact loads and material adhesion.

Machining & gear cutting

Drills, milling cutters and other cutting tools

The coating system and edge preparation depend on the material and cutting conditions.

Plastic injection moulding

Mould cores, cavities and inserts

Polishing and coating are matched to the plastic and the required finish. The aims are reduced friction and wear, reliable demolding and longer tool life in series production.

Testing and optimisation

Test coating properties, investigate causes of damage and tailor improvements to your application.
