IBC-Sputtek Cutting Tools Applications

High Speed Steel tools life increased 3 to 30 times.
Carbide tools life increased 2 to 5 times. Deposition temperatures as low as 480-840F (250-450C) protect carbide's binder from deterioration, by comparison with the CVD process applied at more than 1,850F (1,000C).
Isolates the tool from the part, avoids edge buildup and tool cratering.
Reduced friction against workpiece and chips, reduced spindle torque, less vibrations, better finish.
Speed and Feed increased 10 to 50%.
Reduces or eliminates cooling (with specific coatings).
Repeatable, stable performance of the coatings between batches.
When required, our stripping procedures remove completely old coatings without attacking base steel.
Regrinding and recoating saves 25 to 75% on tooling costs.
5-10 days batch turnaround.
