Nash needs to know the substrate material, hardness and heat treatment tempering temperature of the coated workpiece in order to provide reasonable process conditions that can be contained in the coated material:
1. high-alloy tool steel, high-speed steel, stainless steel; 2. cemented carbide; 3. titanium alloys; 4. nickel alloys.
Tool steels must be tempered more than twice at temperatures higher than 500°C to maintain the hardness of the steel for use. The workpiece to be coated must be electrically conductive. Since the PVD process is carried out by loading the entire workpiece into the furnace, the above conditions must be met regardless of whether or not the part is to be coated.
Naxau coatings are prepared at high temperature under high vacuum. To optimize coating performance, please prepare your tools following these requirements.
Prior to coatings, we will need to collect information on type of tool materials, heat treatment procedures, pre and post treatment of the products. Materials suitable for coatings are.
1. High alloy steel, HSS high speed steel and SUS stainless steel.
2. Carbide 3. Titanium alloy 4. Nickle alloy
Harden steel must have a tempering temperature higher than 500°C and temper at least twice to attain necessary hardness and minimize stress. The entire parts must be conductive.
