Industries
Where PVD coatings for tools are used
PVD hard protective coatings are useful in a variety of industries, including the automotive, aerospace, medical, and tooling industries.
8 coatings
Automotive
Engine parts: pistons, valves, cams and gears
See applications and coatingsAutomotive
- Engine parts: pistons, valves, cams and gears
- Less friction and wear: higher engine efficiency, lower emissions and lower fuel consumption
- Casting tools for aluminium-alloy castings for electric vehicles: cores and moulds
- Forming tools for high-tensile-strength sheet metal and galvanized sheet metal
29 coatings
Tooling industry
Cutting tools made of carbide, HSS and PM-HSS: drills, milling cutters, reamers and hobs
Tooling industry
- Cutting tools made of carbide, HSS and PM-HSS: drills, milling cutters, reamers and hobs
- Forming tools: punching, blanking, fine blanking, and cold and hot forming of sheet metal
- Tools for plastic injection moulding and aluminium die casting: cores and moulds
5 coatings
Mechanical engineering – machine components
Sliding components where wear is present
Mechanical engineering – machine components
- Sliding components where wear is present
- Bearings, gears and valves
- Parts with better sliding properties and no material sticking
- Smooth surface for tribological applications
6 coatings
Medical and pharmaceutical industry
Surgical tools and medical instruments, also with antibacterial protection
See applications and coatingsMedical and pharmaceutical industry
- Surgical tools and medical instruments, also with antibacterial protection
- Implants: biocompatibility, chemical inertness and corrosion resistance
- Dental appliances
- Components of medicine production lines: the parts tablets travel across and the parts powder flows through
- Less wear on parts in constant contact with the product, and less material sticking
- Longer component life and fewer stoppages on the line
3 coatings
Aerospace
Bearings, valves and control systems that are exposed to extreme conditions
Aerospace
- Bearings, valves and control systems that are exposed to extreme conditions
- Components that withstand high loads, vibrations and temperature changes
- Cutting Inconel, titanium and special alloys
3 coatings
Food industry
Knives and blades for cutting, slicing and portioning
See applications and coatingsFood industry
- Knives and blades for cutting, slicing and portioning
- Dies and moulds for extruding and forming (pasta, confectionery, feed)
- Parts of packaging and filling machines: sealing jaws, screws, guides
- Less product sticking, easier cleaning, resistance to wear and corrosion
