IBC had developed and patented a new type of locator and welding pins, that combine high wear resistance, extremely low coefficient of friction, high electrical insulation, and toughness. Pins were tested for more than 2 years by the major automotive customers in toughest applications, including high strength steel and hot forming, with reported life extension up to 14 times compared to commonly used products. IBC can supply the pins in standard sizes and custom dimensions, magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
