PVD coatings have also established themselves in the area of turning operations. For example, in processing rust-free or alloyed steels, thin, extremely wear-resistant and smooth super-hard material coatings are used that allow excellent processing with sharp cutters.

However, for a number of turning operations wear volume is necessary that can be directly converted into tool life. Thicker coating materials do not present a problem with the sputter procedure.

In this way, we have achieved the maximum performance in steel and cast machining as a result of selecting the appropriate coating material, coating thickness and the optimum pre-treatment and re-treatment in a number of customer-specific solutions. A gold top layer can also be selected as an additional module for wear detection.

Just a few of our areas of expertise:

• Indexable inserts for

• Finishing processing with thin coatings close to the contour
• Rough processing with high coating thickness up to 12 µm

• Ceramic indexable inserts for cast processing

• Circular and flat chisels for bearing processing

• Hi-tech PVD coatings as an alternative for conventional CVD layers

• Dry processing

• Diamond coating on indexable inserts

• Machining of aluminum alloys and colored metals

• Graphite and fiber-reinforced materials

The design and composition of the coating specification for refining your high-performance product is not limited to the selection of our extensive coating material range. Surface qualities, coating thicknesses, tolerances and color layouts must be incorporated into every design.

Ask our customer advisors. They will show you how to design your own high-performance coating in conjunction with our experienced engineers.
