European Tool & Mould Making starts the article with: Coatings applied to moulds and dies by means of physical-vapour deposition (PVD) techniques provide these tools with many performance advantages. Mainly, they add extra hardness and smoothness to a forming tool, which extends the life span as well as enhancing its peformance. As and expert in PVD technology and equipment, the Dutch company Hauzer Techno Coating B.V. supplies several innovative mould-coating system technologies, such as High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS+), PVD-deposited Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) or the combination of plasma nitriding and PVD coating in one process (Nitrocoat Duplex Treatment).
