High-performance PVD coatings create durable, low-friction surfaces that help reduce wear, heat, chipping, and maintenance on tools, dies, punches, molds, and precision industrial components.
Surface Solutions coats cutting tools to improve wear resistance, extend usable edge life, reduce downtime for resharpening, and help shops maintain consistent performance across demanding production runs.
Coatings for sheet metal forming tools help reduce galling, friction, buildup, and lubricant needs while supporting longer die run times and cleaner-looking finished parts.
Punch coatings are engineered to reduce chipping, buildup, and heat during repeated high-impact use, helping manufacturers increase part output before basic maintenance or sharpening is required.
Coated injection molding tooling can improve release, reduce wear, and support more efficient production by protecting critical mold surfaces from abrasion, sticking, and maintenance interruptions.
Medical coatings support precision manufacturing applications where durable, clean, wear-resistant surfaces are needed for specialized tools, components, and production equipment used in medical device work.
Industrial coating performance should translate into measurable production value. Surface Solutions helps manufacturers extend tool life, reduce sharpening frequency, minimize lubricant use, and improve finished part appearance with durable PVD coating options. Whether you need better cutting performance, lower die maintenance, or reduced buildup on forming tools, our coatings are selected around your application, material, and production demands.
Manufacturers rely on Surface Solutions to extend tool life, reduce maintenance, and improve production efficiency.
"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!!!..."
