MAGNAGOLD®
Enhanced Titanium Nitride (TiN) Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Coating. Provides superior properties when compared to other common industry coatings such as titanium nitride, PVD or vacuum deposition.
  • Resists wear and abrasion up to 20 times better than stainless steel
  • Extends operating life and improves performance of all "heavy-wear" parts and tools
  • Ideal for parts with critical tolerance requirements
  • Uniform deposition on parts of virtually any configuration
  • Dimensional accuracy of +/- .000015"
  • Hardness up to an equivalent of Rc 85
  • USDA/FDA/Agri-Canada compliant
  • Low processing temperatures allows application on a diverse variety of materials without distortion of the substrate
  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Thickness 1 to 3 microns
  • A superior alternative to other common industry coatings such as titanium nitride, PVD or vacuum deposition
MAGNAGOLD Enhanced PVD coating for "Heavy-Wear" tool applications and machine components. Hardness up to 85 Rc. Resists wear and abrasion up to 20X better than stainless steel. USDA/FDA/AgriCanada-compliant.

General Magnaplate's proprietary MAGNAGOLD (PVD) process produces a dense, smooth, ultra-hard surface finish with a rich, gold color. Unlike conventional Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), which requires temperatures high enough to anneal steel and can produce distortion, the MAGNAGOLD process employs heat as low as 400F. This permits the coating of a wide variety of materials without loss of hardness or distortion. The substrate's metallurgical properties are not affected by the process.

Typical Applications:

  • Forming tools
  • Drills
  • Extrusion dies
  • Punches
  • Wear Rings
  • Hobs
  • Bushings
  • Sleeves
  • Bits
  • HSS tools
