Is This a Familiar Sight?
When Machining : Aluminums, Brasses, Coppers, Nickels, Titaniums…
As Well As Other Soft, Gummy, Hard To Machine Materials
Can a Thin Film Coating Prevent This From Happening? Yes It Can!!!
With SurfTech Aluminum PVD Coating, titanium nitride coatings (TiN coating) and other thin film coatings, you can not only prevent this, but you can: (1) improve your surface finishes, (2) increase production {less tool changes, less scrap parts}, (3) decrease tool usage {increased tool life, less tool breakage}, (4) decrease tool costs, {use carbide in place of PCD tipped tools, HSS tools in place of carbide}. In today’s fast-paced, ever growing and highly competitive marketplace, it is becoming imperative to have an edge over your competition. Part designs are becoming more complex, tighter tolerances, better finishes, all while trying to machine them at a lower price. These hard to machine materials are creating problems with tool performance in the areas of wear, breakage, and overall production. When tools don’t perform properly and require added unexpected maintenance, or down time, it leads to lost production, which cost you money. When the materials you are machining “stick” to the tools, it costs you money, or even your customers. Such real world demands call for and require a real world titanium coating. Unlike traditional coatings, SurfTech’s multilayer thin film coatings, deliver a unique combination of properties to meet your needs.
