Ohio:
|
Customer: | Automotive Aluminum Die Caster | |
Parts: | Die-Casting Cores | |
Avg. Coating cost: | 30% of Core Cost | |
Avg. Gain in Core Life: | 200% | |

|
The benefits include: cost reduction, increased tool life, higher quality parts,
reduced down time and scrap - all adding to your bottom line. A brief background
on the supplier of this coating technology: SAC International, Inc. is
a developer and supplier of high performance, thin film, hard surface coatings
and equipment. In 1993, Daryl A. Blessing, CEO, founded SAC International and
invented the deca-elemental, single layer coating Laser-Cut 964. This revolutionary
new coating not only had high hardness (4800 Vickers) but also a very low coefficient
of friction (.027). These characteristics, combined with the coating's ability
to exactly duplicate surface finish, texture and geometry, makes it ideal for
the tool & die industry, according to SAC International. For more information,
call (800) 964-6964 or e-mail ts@sac-international.com.
