Chemical Vapor Deposition Coatings
CVD coating
Naxau CVD Chemical Vacuum Vapor Deposition coating services are mainly focused on high hard cutting tools, anti-adhesive/stamping molding and other tooling categories.Naxau CVD can deposit coatings from 5 microns to 20 microns thick, using TiN, TiCN and α-alumina (Al2O3) to form monolayers or multilayers.The CVD deposition process is typically at 900°C or above, with a coating time of 10 hours, and is only for high temperature resistant substrates.

ta-C Coating for Thin Blade Cutters
Thin Blade Tool Coating
Naxau ta-C carbon film series, film thickness 0.2-0.5μm, hardness 3500-6000HV, coefficient of friction 0.1-0.15, low-temperature immersion film within 200℃, suitable for thin-blade knife tool applications. Skills significantly increase the cutting force without reducing the hardness and finish of the substrate, can be widely used in razor blades, lawn mowers, lint cutters, die cutters and other dry cutting conditions.
In addition, for thin-edged tools with high wear resistance requirements, NanoShield has a series of thick-film metal-ceramic films that can increase life by 2-4 times and reduce the risk of chipping.
TiB2 and ZrN for non-ferrous metals
Non-ferrous metal processing
NaxauTiB2 (titanium diboride) coating, 3000HV hardness, prepared by HiPiMS, low stress and high chipping resistance. Particularly suitable for non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum, copper, magnesium and its alloys) processing in the wear-resistant and anti-metal high-temperature corrosion working conditions. And it can realize 300 m/min high speed cutting; reduce 40% or more than traditional carbide.
ZrN chromium nitride coating, also widely used in non-ferrous metal processing and wood processing.
