PVD drill coatings
Sheffield Hallam University worked with 'Hydra Clarkson International Ltd' investigating ways to improve the life of cutting tools, sold for use in the dry-drilling and milling of aerospace and automotive alloys.
A range of new nanoscale PVD coatings were developed which combined high
hardness, low friction and chemical inertness.
Tests have shown that coated tools had a significantly improved life, producing 130 holes compared to one to two holes with uncoated tools, and out-performed competing coatings by a factor of three.
