Carbide tool coatings are essential for enhancing the performance and durability of cutting tools.
These coatings provide significant benefits such as improved wear resistance and extended tool life.
Let's explore the four main types of carbide tool coatings in detail.
4 Essential Types of Carbide Tool Coating
1. Amorphous Diamond Coating
Amorphous diamond coating involves applying a layer of non-crystalline diamond material onto the surface of carbide tools.
This type of coating offers excellent wear resistance and durability.
It is ideal for various cutting applications.
2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Diamond Coating
CVD diamond coating is a process where multiple layers of polycrystalline diamond are grown onto carbide tooling.
This method requires specific temperature and pressure conditions to ensure the formation of a diamond matrix rather than graphite.
The coating process involves dissociating hydrogen molecules from carbon molecules deposited onto the tool.
CVD diamond coated end mills typically have a coating thickness between 8 and 10 microns.
3. Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD)
PCD involves the deposition of polycrystalline diamond onto carbide tools.
This coating offers high wear resistance and durability.
It is perfect for demanding cutting applications.
4. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Coatings
PVD coatings involve the vaporization and condensation of metal compounds to adhere them to the surface of the tool.
This process enhances the tool's performance by providing improved hardness, wear resistance, and durability.
PVD coatings can be applied using two methods: arc ion plating and sputtering.
