Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can be coated with PVD?
PVD can be applied to metals preferably stainless steel
How thick are PVD coatings?
Typical thickness ranges from 1 to 2 microns, offering high surface hardness without altering part dimensions.
Can PVD coatings improve tool life?
Yes. PVD coatings significantly reduce wear, friction, and heat build-up, often doubling or tripling the life of cutting tools and components.
Are PVD coatings corrosion-resistant?
Yes, PVD coatings offer good to excellent corrosion resistance, especially when paired with a proper pre-treatment or substrate.
Do PVD coatings come in different colors?
Absolutely. PVD coatings can be deposited in gold, black, rainbow, bronze, chrome, and other colors
How do low-friction products improve the performance of industrial tools and parts?
A low-friction coating reduces heat buildup, minimizes wear, and enhances efficiency in machining and moving parts. This extends component life, increases productivity, and supports reliable performance in demanding industrial applications.
