Why Is Precision Tool Material and Coating Selection Important?
All metals have unique properties related to toughness, wear resistance, compressive strength, and more. If you understand those properties well, you can use them to your advantage and create the most suitable tool for your application.
The right tool material and coating will help your tools last longer and perform better, which in turn can help you:
- Reduce production downtime
- Lower replacement tool costs
- Achieve higher-quality results
Common Precision Tool Coatings
Often, the right tool material is just one aspect of improving tool life. If you want the greatest longevity and performance from your tools, you may want to apply a performance enhancement coating. While there are many good surface treatments to choose from, physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings are typically the best suited for precision slip and press-fit punch components.
Below are four examples of common PVD tool coatings.

What is surface treatment and its advantages?
Surface treatment is an additional process apply cemented carbide to the surface of a material for the purpose of adding functions such as erosion resistance,corrosion resistance and wear resistance or improving the hardness,by which lower the cost compared to the cost of using entire cemented alloy,and remain the alloy good performance upon the material.
Surface treatments can be broadly classified into removal processes, such as scraping or melting the surface, and additive processes, such as painting,coating which add cemented carbide to the surface.there are four technical surface treatments we have in image below as additive processes to highly improve property of wear resistance and erosion resistance.
