New PVD Coatings: we love colors, you too?
Performance equals boring industrial design? The new PD2i coatings show that this not have to be the case
A boost in performance and appearance opens new markets or strengthen the current business. Increased cutting parameters and tool life, wrapped into the new colored coating design, disproves the prejudice that performance in industrial applications is always combined with boring design.
All new coatings can be deposited by our MpC 600 and MpC 1000 machines.
The new coatings – Progress in performance and design:
