PVD Coating
Physical Vapor Deposition coatings create a durable surface layer for tools and components, helping reduce friction, wear, heat buildup, and maintenance requirements in demanding production environments.
Surface Solutions delivers high-performance PVD industrial coatings engineered to extend tool life, reduce maintenance demands, and support more consistent manufacturing output. From forming and punching to cutting, molding, and medical applications, our coating options help manufacturers protect critical tooling from wear, heat, friction, and material buildup—so production teams can keep operations moving with fewer interruptions.
Specialized PVD coating solutions for tooling used across demanding manufacturing and production applications.
Physical Vapor Deposition coatings create a durable surface layer for tools and components, helping reduce friction, wear, heat buildup, and maintenance requirements in demanding production environments.
Coatings for cutting tools are designed to improve wear resistance and tool performance, supporting longer runs between resharpening and more dependable results across machining operations.
PVD coatings for sheet metal forming tools help reduce galling, material pickup, and lubricant dependence while supporting cleaner formed parts and longer tool service life.
Protect punches and related tooling with coatings that help reduce chipping, wear, and heat exposure during repetitive punching operations and high-volume production cycles.
Coatings for injection molding tooling help provide a smoother, more durable surface that can reduce buildup, ease release, and support consistent molded-part production.
PVD coating solutions for medical manufacturing applications support durable, high-performing tooling used where precision, repeatability, and controlled production processes are essential.
Surface Solutions applies high-performance PVD coatings that help manufacturers get more from the tools they already rely on. The right coating can reduce friction, heat, wear, chipping, and material buildup while improving finish quality and reducing maintenance frequency. With solutions for forming, cutting, punching, molding, and medical tooling, we help production operations pursue longer runs, less downtime, and lower operating costs.

"Surface Solutions helped me with a small, but very significant project. They CrN coated some titanium pieces for me. They went above and beyond to make it amazing. Chet and Mike are pros and I would highly recommend their service."
"Nearly everything we resharpen gets sent out to Surface Solutions for coatings. I had one customer that wasn't using coatings and now that he's tried it, he wants everything coated. His tools are working better than new. It's like night and day . . ."
"The Alpha™ coating that was utilized last time for these small parts worked great. I was very pleased with the result as it greatly increased the part life. I was able to make 500 passes using the scratch testing equipment and saw no visible degradation of the coating under our..."
"Alpha cutters are amazing! And I hear AlTiN can only get better… Either way, we are going to ship you a huge set to get processed asap… Thank you so much! Kirk is thinking that these cutters just eliminated an entire process to the current one we have to do!!!..."

Surface Solutions is a Fridley, Minnesota-based provider of high-performance PVD coatings for manufacturers that depend on reliable tooling. Our work is centered on helping metal forming, punching, sheet metal forming, cutting, injection molding, and medical manufacturing operations get more useful life from critical tools. We understand that coated tooling must do more than look finished—it must help control friction, heat, wear, buildup, and maintenance demands in active production environments. From the Upper Midwest manufacturing community to customers throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Surface Solutions provides coating options built around real application needs. Our focus is practical: support longer tool runs, reduce operational interruptions, and help customers pursue consistent, efficient output from their existing tooling.
Industrial coating refers to a protective or performance-enhancing layer applied to tools, components, or equipment used in production environments. In PVD coating, material is deposited in a controlled process to create a thin, durable surface. The coating can help reduce friction, heat, wear, chipping, corrosion exposure, and material buildup, depending on the coating and application.
