This video is so ''nano'' :D Thanks for sharing very informative as usual.

[@starrapid]

Haha. Thank you :)

[@Technoboy928]

Please make a video explaining the software packages you use.

Our PVD is low temp application at 910 F

[@ayatotakema1194]

will PVD work for micro molds with holes as small as 100 microns?

[@africaall-rise256]

How can I get your contact, sir 🙏

[@tejeshwvardhan1165]

If I have P20 material of mould and I inject glassfibre..... And no chrome plating..........will it wear my mould?

[@locutus1126]

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.

[@JessePacheco-oh9ib]

@@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.

I wonder if Bones was into tribbleology

[@africaall-rise256]

Funny when mentioned #Americans 😁

[@jamescerven4400]

Gordon's a funny dude 😂. And P.S. metric is dumb

[@starrapid]

👌

[@lucabuchmuller4222]

no, metric is friggin logical.
