PVD Coatings for Die Cast Tooling
North Star Coating is a premier Midwest provider of CrN and MetalFlow coatings for die cast tooling. These high-performance PVD coatings create a hard, smooth barrier between molten aluminum and the underlying tool steel.
Properly coated core pins, cavities, gates, and other mold components are better protected against soldering, erosion, and washout. This helps preserve critical tooling surfaces, reduce premature damage, and keep die cast components in production longer.

PVD coatings protect die cast tooling from the heat, chemical attack, abrasion, and high-velocity flow associated with molten aluminum.
Reduced Soldering
A hard, smooth PVD surface helps prevent molten aluminum from bonding to and attacking die cast tooling during production.
Protection for H13 Tool Steel
PVD coatings create a protective barrier that helps keep molten aluminum from reaching and depleting the underlying H13 tool steel.
Reduced Erosion
High-hardness coatings help tooling resist the abrasive effects of high-velocity aluminum moving through the die casting system.
Washout Resistance
PVD coatings protect critical mold surfaces from washout caused by the repeated flow of molten material through the tooling.
Protection in High-Wear Areas
Coatings provide additional protection around gates and other areas exposed to concentrated material flow and severe wear.
Longer Tooling Life
Reducing soldering, erosion, and washout helps core pins, cavities, and other mold components remain usable longer.
Recommended Die Cast Tooling Coatings
North Star Coating recommends CrN and MetalFlow for protecting die cast tooling from soldering, erosion, washout, and abrasive wear.
