The Hardcoating Difference

Do you have a punching application where galling or tooling life is an issue? Or, is your particular punching application preventing you from using a punching lubricant? By utilizing a variety of Cleveland Punch and Die coatings, a better tooling life can be achieved. With a delivery time of approximately one week, we are able to get these items out the door much faster than the competition! CPD offers three types of coatings depending on your requirements:

CPD MG1 Coating:

• A general purpose, gold colored coating, allowing higher punching speeds and longer tooling life.
• Especially effective when punching copper, bus bar and aluminum.
• Standard coating on our FP1 style punch.

CPD MG2 Coating:

• A harder, more lubricious coating offering better performance in steels and aluminum.
• Minimizes galling due to rapid punching.
• Commonly used in higher strength steels and when the punch size is smaller than material thickness.
• This coating is useful on "Insert" and "Style 1" Whitney™ punches.

CPD MG3 Coating:

• The most abrasion resistant and hardest coating for punching heat resistant alloys.
