Towards lube-free aluminum high pressure die casting using duplex AlCrN physical vapor deposition coatings
Aluminum high pressure castings (HPDC) were successfully produced on two simple but slightly different H13 steel dies that had been coated with AlCrN physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings and without the use of conventionally-sprayed die lubricants. Over 200 lube-free (no lubricant) castings were...
