This is the multi-layer process to harden base material (Type K treatment) and Y-coat on top. Synergy effect of "Base hardening" and "Y-coat"can give better performance compare to existing Ion plating. * Increase in resistance against cracking, abrasion, softening, fatigues etc * No shape change just like Y-coat process itself.

When the base is hardened, there will be no excess damages when scratched.

For thickness with in die's inner side, it will depends on its shape and size.
