Coating Insight Session, Liechtenstein
Drilling may look straightforward – but in practice, it remains one of the most demanding machining operations. Tool life, borehole quality, regrinding cycles, and costs per part all depend on details that are often underestimated.
With raw material prices for tungsten carbide and cobalt rising sharply since 2025, the cost of cemented carbide cutting tools has increased accordingly. This intensifies the pressure to optimize overall manufacturing costs, making efficient use of each drill more critical than ever.
In this 20‑minute Coating Insight Session, Oerlikon Balzers expert Ivan Iovkov shares practical drilling know‑how and explains how modern PVD coating design directly influences performance and cost per borehole.
The session covers current drilling challenges, recent PVD coating developments including BALINIT® OPTURA, and application‑based insights from real industrial practice.
Join this compact, expert‑led session to gain fresh technical perspectives and take away insights you can apply directly to your drilling operations.
