Explore PVD coating solutions designed for demanding tooling, manufacturing, and specialized medical device applications.
Physical vapor deposition coatings create durable, low-friction surfaces for industrial tooling. Choose targeted coating solutions to improve wear resistance, support longer runs, and reduce the maintenance burden on high-use production equipment.
Protect cutting tools with coatings engineered to reduce wear and support productive machining. Surface Solutions helps extend time between resharpening while promoting cleaner performance across demanding cutting applications.
Coatings for sheet metal forming tools help reduce friction, lubricant needs, and material buildup. Improve die performance and support longer production runs with surfaces suited to challenging forming operations.
Precision coatings for punches help reduce chipping and wear during repeated production cycles. They support longer tool life, less frequent maintenance, and dependable output for demanding punching applications.
Coated tooling for injection molding can help improve release characteristics and reduce surface wear. Select a durable PVD coating to support consistent production and lower maintenance requirements over time.
Surface Solutions provides precision coating options for medical device manufacturing applications. Durable, carefully applied coatings help manufacturers address performance needs for specialized tools and component production processes.
Surface Solutions applies precision PVD coatings that help tools perform beyond their uncoated capabilities. From metal forming dies and cutting tools to punches, molds, and medical manufacturing applications, the right coating can reduce friction, resist wear, and minimize buildup. Options such as TiN, TiCN, CrN, AlTiN, and Alpha coating are selected around the demands of your tooling, material, and production process.

"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!!!..."

Precision coating is the controlled application of a thin surface layer to a tool, die, mold, or component to improve a specific performance characteristic. In industrial settings, PVD coatings can increase wear resistance, lower friction, reduce material buildup, and support longer service intervals. The appropriate coating depends on the base material, operating temperatures, contact conditions, and production process.
