Higher Tool Productivity due to New Generation of PVD Coatings: Hauzer Techno Coating at V2011

摘要

PVD coating technology has seen many new developments in the past few years. HIPIMS+ is an example of these developments with excellent results on tool productivity and lifespan. The technology combines the advantages of arc evaporation with those of magnetron sputtering and results in a dense and defect-free coating with tuneable residual stress. The coatings have been tested successfully by international tool manufacturers. Additional developments can be seen in DLC coatings and the hydrogen-free variety ta-C. These coatings are suitable for low temperature deposition and machining of special materials.
