Materials and coatings

Brixiaplast is constantly working to improve the characteristics of its products:

Our research and development center, in cooperation with our partner suppliers, is dedicated to the testing of alloys that meet the requirements of the new polymers on the market and the requirements of end users, that is:

 

• • Improved mechanical characteristics;

 

• • Increased heat stability;

 

• • Increased resistance to wear;

 

• • Biodegradability.

 

In response to these requirements and depending on the application, we use various types of steel, such as:

 

• • Nitriding steels;

 

• • Case-hardened steels

 

• • Conventional chrome steels;

 

• • Sintered steels with powder metallurgy;

 

• • Stainless steel;

 

• • Sintered stainless steels with powder metallurgy.

 

 

All Brixiaplast steels have a certificate of origin and quality certification.
Where necessary, we use abrasive and corrosive wear “barriers” that include cobalt, nickel, iron and tungsten-based plasma coatings.

COATINGS

 

The choice of steels used in the plasticizing unit is completed, when necessary, with the application of coatings to protect the components from the various types of wear that are frequently caused by the use of increasingly heavier plastic materials.

Brixiaplastuses the most modern technologies for the application of coatings with PVD, CVC and Nanoceramic technologies.The resulting coating can be thought of as a very thin and very hard sheet that wraps around, protects and insulates the underlying steel.

THE BENEFITS OF COATED SURFACES

 

 

• • Protection against corrosion

 

• • Protection against wear

 

• • Reduction of friction

 

• • Protection against overexposure to heat

 

• • Improved aesthetic appearance

 

• • Fast identification based on coating color
