* depends on application and test conditions
BALINIT® C, with its low coefficient of friction and good sliding properties, is deployed mainly to reduce adhesive wear (scuffing, seizing, cold-welding) and can also withstand high loads at deficient lubrication or dry running. Surface fatigue (pitting) and tribo-oxidation (fretting corrosion) are largely prevented. Expensive base materials can often be replaced with less expensive steel.  BALINIT® C is bio-compatible and foodstuff-neutral.
Recommended applications:
•  punching and forming (low-lubricant or dry working)
•  plastic injection moulding (dry running of movable tool components)
•  gears and ball bearings with high surface pressure levels
•  precision components of highly stressed combustion engines
•  systems without lubrication (clean room or foodstuffs technology)
•  fluid technology components
• 

cutting tools (aluminium machining)
