The bronze-coloured BALIMED™ FUTURA not only improves the aesthetics of medical instruments, it also helps surgeons to better identify their operation instruments. Also, the high hardness of BALIMED™ FUTURA gives surgical instruments sharp cuttings-edges and outstanding protection against abrasive wear.
| BALIMED FUTURA | |
|---|---|
| Coating material | TiAlN |
| Coating technology | Arc |
| Coating colour | Bronze |
| Coating hardness HIT [GPa]* | 33 +/- 3 |
| Coefficient of friction (dry) vs. steel** | ~0.6 |
| Max. service temp. [°C]**** | 700 |
| Process temperature [°C] | < 350 |
| General remark | All given data are approximate values, they depend on application, environment and test condition. |
| *Coating hardness HIT [GPa] | Measured by nano indentation according to ISO 14577. For multilayers the hardness of the different layers varies. Hardness can be adapted to the application. |
| **Coefficient of friction (dry) vs. steel | Determined by ball-on-disc test in dry condition with an Steel ball according to ASTM G99. During run-in the given values may be exceeded. |
| ****Max. service temp. [°C] | These are approximate values out of the field. Due to thermodynamic laws there is a dependency of pressure in application. |
