The life of a double locking tool, either with or without titanium coating, may vary depending on several factors, such as tooling material, manufacturing quality, maintenance and conditions of use. Here is a detailed description of the difference between double locking tools with and without titanium coating:

1. Non-titanium-coated double-seam tooling: Conventional non-titanium-coated double-seam tooling is more susceptible to wear and corrosion due to friction and contact with can materials. The life of these tools can vary widely, but generally, they are expected to last between 5 and 10 million closures, depending on the quality of the tooling and proper maintenance.
2. Titanium nitride coated double locking tools: Titanium nitride coating significantly improves the service life of double locking tools by providing a harder, wear-resistant surface. This coating also reduces damage to the protective varnish on the can bottoms and increases the durability of the tooling. It has been estimated that titanium nitride coated double seal tooling can last up to 25 million closures or even longer, depending on the quality of the tooling and proper maintenance.

It is important to note that regardless of the type of double locking tooling used, proper maintenance and regular cleaning are essential to prolong its life. This includes lubrication of moving parts, wear inspection and replacement of worn components as needed.

In summary, titanium nitride coated double locking tools tend to have a longer service life compared to non-titanium coated tools. However, the exact life of any double locking tooling will depend on the quality of the tooling, maintenance and conditions of use.
