Don’t forget Tuffskin to extend tooling life.
Tuffskin is a punch coating available exclusively from Whitney. Developed from many years of research,
this multi-layer coating surpasses other Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) products such as Titanium Nitride (TiN)
and Chromium Nitride (CrN).
Tuffskin is a 0.0001 to 0.0002” thick, wear-resistant coating that
increases surface hardness, improves wear, and greatly reduces adhesive surface buildup (galling). Tuffskin
gives you the best opportunity to significantly extend tool life.
For applications that still require
a TiN coating, we offer our Tuffskin Gold, an improved formulation of Titanium Nitride. Gold in color, it is
more durable and has outperformed other TiN coatings in similar applications.
Tuffskin and Tuffskin Gold both have base material requirements. Please contact our sales department for details.
Available die styles include 28XX, 38XX, 34, 36, 37, 44.
SlugMagic (tapered hole in and out) Series 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Eclipse (offset slug hole) Series 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
