Coatings

The HiPIMS process gives HPP unparalleled coating adhesion. The high hardness, toughness, and oxidation temperature of HPP makes it ideal for machining hardened steels, superalloys, and other difficult to machine materials under either wet or dry conditions. Formally known as Hi-Pulse Power.

HPH perfectly combines the high temperature of a silicon-enhanced coating with the excellent adhesion of HiPIMS technology. The premium HPH coating demonstrates the superior combination of hardness and adhesion especially in hard machining of moulds & dies and machining high-alloy stainless steels for high temperature applications such as for turbines, the chemical industry or exhaust gas turbochargers. The smooth droplet-free surface ensures optimum surface quality and decreases the temperature in the cutting zone by reducing friction. Formally known as Hi-Pulse Hard (HARDLOX)
