Coated high performance tools such as drills and milling cutters are crucial for high productivity in present-day metal processing.
Coating Guide For quality and safety: PVD coatings for forming tools in window manufacturing High performance PVD coatings for reliable forming processes, extended tool life and certified component quality
Oerlikon serves a broad base of customers in demanding industries – from automotive, aerospace, tooling and energy to luxury, medical and semiconductors – with a comprehensive toolbox of high-tech surface
The result: Very high thermal stability and long tool life, which means far fewer tool changes.
By combining an extremely wear-resistant AlCrN-based layer with a top layer, welding between the tool surface and the workpiece is reduced.
