Boron Nitride Coatings Improve Metal Stamping Operation and Die Life





Metal Stamping operations are typical in the Industry. In many cases the manufacturer experience typical problems of metal sticking and poor die life. In such cases many times Boron Nitride Coatings are quite effective. For example, a metal stamping operation was experiencing sticking and poor die life on a particularly difficult-to-form shape; several remedies were tried unsuccessfully. A thin layer of boron nitride was sprayed on the die surfaces. Not only did the stamping operation see a marked improvement in release of the part, but also because of the inherent lubricity of the coating, the die life was significantly increased. 
So Boron Nitride Coatings can also be tried in metal stamping operations.
