It depends how many shots you are doing. I have done low production with p20 or high hard p20 with no coating and it's ok. Otherwise we use high hard p20 and either ion nitride or a process called dynablue. Those penetrate the surface to add hardness and wear properties. Coatings are ok but they come off and will not last on parting lines that have a lot of up and down walls. We have made many molds with high hard p20 with dynablue that has run millions of shot, plus it's easier to weld.
@@locutus1126 Also depends on percentage of glass fiber percentage. We run a 50% glass filled Nylon for Magpul and it's absolute hell on molds, screws, and barrels.

Love that you do these videos. Always recommend your channel to my Techs. Keep up the good work!
Best one yet
Glad you liked it. Thank you :)
This video is so ''nano'' :D
Thanks for sharing very informative as usual.
Haha. Thank you :)
Please make a video explaining the software packages you use.
Very nicely done, thanks!
Thank you :)
Excellent video Gordon 8/10
Thank you :)
Amazing!
Thanks :)
Our PVD is low temp application at 910 F
will PVD work for micro molds with holes as small as 100 microns?
If I have P20 material of mould and I inject glassfibre..... And no chrome plating..........will it wear my mould?

I wonder if Bones was into tribbleology
How can I get your contact, sir 🙏
Funny when mentioned #Americans 😁
Gordon's a funny dude 😂. And P.S. metric is dumb
👌
no, metric is friggin logical.
