"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 supports customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and listed service regions.
A coating partner focused on practical manufacturing performance.
Surface Solutions provides high-performance PVD coatings for manufacturers, toolmakers, and industrial customers seeking longer tool life and lower operational costs. Based in Fridley, Minnesota, the company supports customers across Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Upper Midwest, California, New York, Florida, Canada, and Mexico. Its coating portfolio serves cutting tools, metal forming, punching, sheet metal forming, medical device manufacturing, and other listed applications. Surface Solutions emphasizes practical results, including reduced sharpening frequency, less maintenance, improved part life, and more productive tooling. The company’s offerings include TiAlN- and AlTiN-related coating solutions alongside other PVD technologies selected for application requirements.
AlTiN and TiAlN refer to closely related aluminum-titanium-nitride coating families, and naming can vary by coating provider or formulation. Their performance depends on composition, deposition conditions, substrate, and application. Both are commonly considered for demanding cutting-tool environments where durability and thermal performance matter. Surface Solutions can help compare available coating options with the tool material and intended use in mind.
