PVD COATINGS

INCREASED DURABILITY OF TOOLS AND PARTS THROUGH PVD COATING  

UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF COATINGS

The search for optimal  solutions to increase the  durability of the tools on offer has resulted in the SEGER Cutting Tools’ introduction of the service of coating  tools with PVD coatings, which greatly affect the service life and durability of the tools.

An effective method of increasing the durability of tools is the application of abrasion-resistant coatings. The  most commonly used method for this purpose is the PVD  (Physical Vapour Deposition) method, which constitutes the physical  deposition of thin layers of the gas phase. The applied layer, usually 3 ÷ 5 µm thick, of great  hardness, significantly increases the resistance of the tool blades to abrasive  wear.

ADVANTAGES OF PVD COATINGS:

– very high abrasion  resistance and high and  uniform hardness of the working  surfaces of tools – a significant increase in tool service life (up to 5 x greater)
– reduction  of production costs
– improvement of the quality of the machined surface and machining  accuracy
– the possibility of increasing the cutting parameters (cutting  speed by 40 ÷ 60 %) and machining efficiency
– reducing  the number of tool replacements
– improving chip removal  by reducing the friction coefficient

PVD coatings have a wide range  of applications in many industries. They are modified and tailored to the client’s needs.   

Selecting the right coating becomes a decisive factor which determines the production’s success.   A properly selected coating guarantees both technological and economic advantages. 

The offered tool surface  finishes and abrasion-resistant, super-hard PVD coatings  are dedicated to every type of machining  and material.
