State-of-the-art Tool Coating Technology

Tool coatings can be deposited using many different tool coating technologies. Depending on the required functionalities of the tool coating, the following tool coating technologies are available on Hauzer equipment. Please click on the link for an explanation of the specific tool coating technology.

PVD Coating Technology

PVD coating technology is used for deposition of tool coatings such as TiN coating, TiCN coating, AlTiN coating, CrN coating, TiSiN coating and Al₂O₃ coating.

PVD coating technology can be divided in:

• Arc evaporation
• Sputtering technology, such as
  Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering (UBM)
  Dual Magnetron Sputtering (DMS)
• High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS and HIPIMS⁺)

PACVD Coating Technology

Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (PACVD) coating technology is used for deposition of tool coatings such as Diamond Like Carbon (DLC coating), which is superior for the machining of cast and wrought aluminium and the coating of plastic injection moulds.

Nitrocoat Duplex Treatment

Nitrocoat Duplex Treatment is a coating technology combining plasma nitriding and PVD coating in one batch. This technology is succesfully applied on e.g. cold forming tools.
