Coating Service for Tools + Inserts
At GTS almost every tool will be applied with the most up-to-date and technologically advanced coatings to ensure you the best tool quality. Carbide coatings are typically used for wear resistance to abrasion, erosion, galling, and fretting.
Coated tools can tolerate significantly higher cutting speeds and feeds, reducing machining time and costs. Their outstanding wear resistance, moreover, significantly extends tool life.
High-speed cutting (HSC) and dry machining generate extremely high temperatures. Thanks to the outstanding thermal stability, hot hardness and oxidation resistance of the coating, the heat is dissipated through the chips, without adversely affecting the cutting edge.
Special coatings with low friction coefficients and a low tendency to adhere, facilitate the machining of hard-to-machine materials such as aluminium, titanium and magnesium alloys, and high-alloy steels.
We offer the ideal coating for your application, according to the material to be machined and processing step involved. Whether turning, milling, drilling, reaming, threading or gear cutting – our first-rate coatings will make your production faster, more efficient, and more reliable.
Benefits of Carbide Coatings –
- High hardness, durability and toughness
- Abrasion and Erosion resistance
- Some Corrosion resistance
- Fretting Resistance
- Anti-galling properties
- Long Lasting Traction Surface
Coated cemented carbide currently represents 80-90% of all cutting tool inserts. Its success as a cutting tool material is due to its unique combination of wear resistance and toughness, and its ability to be formed into complex shapes.
Coated cemented carbide combines cemented carbide with a coating. Together they form a grade which is customized for its application.Coated cemented carbide grades are the first choice for a wide variety of tools and applications.
