Medical Coatings

Specialized coating solutions for medical device manufacturers seeking improved wear resistance, reduced buildup, cleaner appearance, and longer-lasting performance on compatible components and production tooling.

PVD Coating

A durable surface finishing process that deposits thin, high-performance coatings to improve component life, reduce friction, and support more reliable production results.

TiN Coating

A proven gold-colored nitride coating used to improve wear resistance, surface hardness, and visual consistency on compatible medical components and precision tooling.

TiCN Coating

Titanium carbo-nitride coating offers strong wear performance and a smooth finish, making it useful for components or tooling where abrasion resistance matters.

CrN Coating

Chrome nitride coating supports excellent durability and reduced heat buildup in demanding applications, helping parts run cooler and perform more consistently.

AlTiN Coating

Aluminum titanium nitride coating is designed for demanding wear and heat conditions, helping compatible parts and tooling maintain performance under tougher operating loads.

Our Medical Coating Application Process

Review Your Application Requirements

We begin by reviewing your medical component, substrate, tolerance requirements, surface condition, and performance challenges. This helps identify whether TiN, TiCN, CrN, AlTiN, Alpha coating, or another PVD solution is appropriate.

"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 . . ."

Tony Deschenes

"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..."
