Surface Finish / Coatings

With years of study and research, Novametal's technical staff have produced a specialised coating system specifically for cold heading, the Nova Coating System (NCS)

NCS-Nova Coating System can/is:-

Improve the forming of the wire
Offer a longer shelf life
Offer a longer tool life
Resistant to pre-forging temperatures

Other finishes available:

Annealed White
Grease Skinpassed
