REDUCE COSTS OF SPARES AND REPLACEMENTS

After trying various coatings and treatments on core pins that would wear on every run, Twin City Die Castings has found Black Nitride Core Pins to reduce the costs associated with downtime.

  • Black Nitride treatment is a high hardness diffusion, which won’t wear like DLC and other surface coatings.
  • Available on Ejector Pins, Core Pins, Ejector Sleeves, and Leader Pins, and Bushings as off-the-shelf standards.

Over the life of a die, the cost-of-ownership can become an immense expense and inconvenience. Progressive specializes in providing replacement components that stop the hemorrhage of dollars.

Dan Sheridan from Twin City Die Castings confirmed that Progressive’s Black Nitride Core Pins outlast all others 5 to 1. Dan and his team trust these pins to perform in the harshest conditions.
