KnightCote® coating is a relatively thin, uniformly applied coating that
can be applied to heading-grade wire. KnightCote coating prevents
metal-to-metal contact, provides protection against die wear, and prevents
seizure, scoring, galling and welding of parts. This coating can withstand
high-impact forces, severe upsetting and extrusion, and warm heading.
KnightCote coating can be applied to all heading alloys.
Relative Price:
Similar to Carpenter Cu coating extra.
Attributes:
• Applied by a proprietary process that results in minimal variation
within or between coils.
• Can be used in a higher-temperature forming process than typical
molybdenum disulfide-type coatings.
