platin'® coatings for machining
Increase the service life of cutting tools
Cutting tools are subject to ever-increasing demands and must meet new requirements:
- Continuously increasing cutting speeds
- Evolution of machined materials: increased hardness, elimination of lead, composite materials...
- Reduced lubricants (dry working)
To meet these specifications, it is essential to use coatings with high hardness that can be maintained at high temperatures, high toughness and a low coefficient of friction.
PLATIN'® PREMIUM coatings now have this combination of properties, thanks in particular to developments in their structure and composition.
Our special automatic machines improve the surface finish of tools before and after coating, for enhanced performance.

Our FAQs
Vacuum deposition is a surface treatment used to deposit a material or alloy on a mechanical part.
The use of vacuum technology ensures a perfectly clean, non-polluting process.
It is not subject to REACH legislation.
This process greatly increases resistance to wear, abrasion, friction and corrosion. As a result, component life is greatly extended.
Standard thicknesses are of the order of 3µm and deposition is carried out on finished parts.
PVD is physical vapor deposition. The element to be deposited is obtained by evaporation or sputtering via a physical process. PACVD is plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The element to be deposited is obtained from chemical reactions. Plasma enables this chemical reaction to take place at lower temperatures.
Vacuum deposits are classified into several categories: anti-wear, friction, decorative and biocompatibility. The applications are therefore very varied: automotive components, aerospace, tooling, cutting tools, medical devices, decorative parts...
The deposition method depends above all on the nature of the coating to be deposited and the substrate.
If the substrate cannot be heated to high temperature, the deposition must be carried out using low-temperature technology.
If the coating to be deposited consists of a solid element (metal or graphite target), a physical process such as PVD is used. If the coating consists of a gas or liquid, a chemical process such as CVD or PACVD is used.
Incorporate carbon below the surface of the steel part to improve fatigue and wear resistance on the surface, while maintaining good core mechanical properties.
