The main difference between CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) inserts lies in the processes they employ to deposit the coating on the surface of a material.
CVD is based on chemical processes, where a source material is vaporized and chemically reacted to form a coating on the substrate material. The process involves the use of gases and chemical reactions to create a thicker coating that is more effective as a thermal barrier. This makes CVD inserts suitable for applications where heat resistance is important.
On the other hand, PVD is based on physical processes, where a source material is vaporized through techniques such as evaporation or laser ablation. The vaporized material then condenses on the substrate material to form a thinner coating. PVD inserts provide a sharper edge due to the thinner coating, making them suitable for applications that require precision and a sharp cutting edge.
Both CVD and PVD inserts create a very thin layer of material on the substrate, but the processes and resulting coatings differ. The choice between CVD and PVD coatings depends on the specific application requirements, such as heat resistance, sharpness, and durability.
