Perspectives for the Application of PVD-Coated Dies in Steel <strong>Thixoforming</strong><br />

Competitive solutions for tools have to provide high mechanical strength at high<br />

temperatures, good resistance against thermal shock and the ability to withstand the<br />

attack of the semi-<strong>solid</strong> material. The thixoforming experiments showed promising<br />

results for the developed tooling coating concepts and materials. Both systems,<br />
