Coldside® super-compact hard metal coating

COLDSIDE ®

It is a top quality super-compact hard metal (HIP), based on special tungsten carbides and other special minerals.
It is particularly suitable in the coating of mechanical parts used in the drawing industry for ferrous and non-ferrous metal wires, with the purpose of reducing their wear and friction.
This material is characterized by high resistance to abrasion and wire slipping. COLDSIDE ® is particularly suitable for corrugated wire and stainless steel wire.

Specific advantages of the COLDSIDE ® coating are:

COLDSIDE ® is a special tungsten carbide coating that can be applied also on already finished parts.
Practically negligible wear of the part.
High impact resistance during the use.
Considerable increase of speed and output of the machines, while maintaining the high quality of the end product.
Drastic reduction of the wear coefficient thanks to the low roughness value (Ra) we can reach.

The most important mechanical parts we carry out in the field of wire-drawing industry with COLDSIDE ® coating are:

Pulleys.
Capstans.
Drawing rings.
Blocks for corrugated wire.
