Cold work

PVD coatings for cold work

PVD and CVD coatings are extremely relevant in cold working applications, as they significantly enhance wear resistance of tools, reduce friction, and prevent plastic deformation. This improvements lead to longer tool life, greater process stability, and better performance when working with demanding materials.

Desirable properties needed in cold work

• High wear resistance
• High hardness
• High compressive strength
• Good toughness / chipping resistance
• Dimensional stability
• Surface finish compatibility

What our coatings protect your tools from

• Abrasive wear: Coatings adds a hard, low-friction surface that resists material removal.
• Adhesive wear/Galling: Coating reduces friction and prevent material transfer between tool and workpiece.
• Surface Fatigue: Coating protects against micro-cracking and surface degradation under cyclic loads.
• Friction-induced damage: Coating ensures lower friction, improves process stability, and reduces heat generation.
