High Speed Steel tools life increased 3 to 30 times  

  • High Speed Steel tools life increased 3 to 30 times.

  • Carbide tools life increased 2 to 5 times. Deposition temperatures as low as 480-840F (250-450C) protect carbide's binder from deterioration, by comparison with the CVD process applied at more than 1,850F (1,000C).

  • Isolates the tool from the part, avoids edge buildup and tool cratering.

  • Reduced friction against workpiece and chips, reduced spindle torque, less vibrations, better finish. 

  • Speed and Feed increased 10 to 50%.

  • Reduces or eliminates cooling (with specific coatings).

  • Repeatable, stable performance of the coatings between batches.

  • When required, our stripping procedures remove completely old coatings without attacking base steel.

  • Regrinding and recoating saves 25 to 75% on tooling costs.

  • 1-3 days batch turnaround.
