The harder the material to be machined, the higher the temperatures in the chip removal process.

That’s why it’s so important to use PVD coatings with high wear resistance, toughness, and thermal stability.

Lafer S.p.A. has decided to invest in a new coating plant to offer its customers, who use solid carbide tools, a unique solution worldwide.

The new CORAL HiPIMS coating is the most effective solution when it comes to machining hardened steels of medium and high hardness, as well as superalloys.

The HiPIMS (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) technology combines the features of Magnetron Sputtering deposition—namely, low roughness and high microstructural density—with the excellent adhesion and high plasma energization typical of Arc deposition.

Thanks to unprecedented levels of thermal stability, density, and wear resistance, as well as perfect coverage of cutting edges, even on very small diameters, the new CORAL HiPIMS is Lafer’s most high-performing coating for the chip removal market, on hardened materials and superalloys.
