Our Titanium Coating Services Services

High-performance PVD coating options for tooling, dies, punches, blades, and precision manufacturing applications.

PVD Coating

Advanced Physical Vapor Deposition coating creates thin, durable, high-performance surfaces that improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and support longer production runs for tooling and manufactured components.

TiN Coating

TiN coating provides a hard, wear-resistant titanium nitride surface commonly used to extend tool life, reduce friction, and improve performance in cutting, forming, and manufacturing applications.

TiCN Coating

TiCN coating adds carbon to titanium nitride for increased hardness and abrasion resistance, making it useful for demanding cutting tools, punches, dies, and high-wear production environments.

AlTiN Coating

AlTiN coating is built for high-heat and high-performance applications, helping cutting tools maintain durability and productivity where temperature and demanding operating conditions shorten tool life.

Alpha™ Coating

Alpha™ coating is designed to reduce sharpening frequency, minimize galvanized buildup, reduce punch chipping, and help manufacturers eliminate polishing steps in suitable production applications.

Cutting Tools

Cutting tool coatings help drills, mills, blades, and carbide tools resist wear, reduce friction, and produce more parts before resharpening or replacement is required.

Extended Tool Life

Coatings That Improve Production Performance

The right titanium coating can turn a standard tool into a longer-running, lower-maintenance production asset. Surface Solutions matches coating chemistry to your application, whether you need less galling, reduced heat, fewer sharpening cycles, or cleaner part output. From cutting tools to forming dies, our PVD coating options help manufacturers improve uptime without changing core tooling designs.

Success Stories

Manufacturers rely on Surface Solutions to improve production output, reduce maintenance, and extend tooling performance.

"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!!!..."
