Out processing offered if needed.
PTFE & Other Coating services
We have coatings that can be added for extra protection & functional properties as well as just for a cosmetic looks. We at HTSS also offer coatings used with PTFE like, Teflon, Molybdenum disulfide, En Slick, MOS2, Clear coat sealants (matte & high gloss) etc... contact us for more info.
Functional PVD Coatings & Custom Coatings
PVD/CVD Coatings is extremely hard & high heat resistant thin coating (0.0001-0.0005) coating and is very much harder than standard plating's or electroless plating's & with more functionality property's depending on the usage type that's needed. PVD comes in many Colors and can be used with other plating's when properly combined. Contact us for more information.
Tool Reconditioning (resharp/regrind)
We offer cutting tool reconditioning from our partnering tool making manufacture that offers us with CNC tool resharpening for all cutting tool types. Contact us today for any questions you may have this can save you time and money from having to purchase new tools.
Firearms
There are very many types of coatings are used for firearms but nothing like ours we provide Functional PVD and Plating's used for durability. These coatings and plating's are Highly rated as very hard coting's and are mainly used in cutting tools well as molds dies & Machinery Components. Service's: PVD coatings | Plating's | Polishing
Automotive
We provide PVD and Plating's for booth Car automotive and bike that will offer more durability by 200% and better Performance for a smother glide and stronger part, reducing the cost of replacements. Ask us how Today coatings | Plating's | Polishing
Medical Coating
Medical devices and medical tooling is a large user in PVD coatings for just about everything. PVD Plating's and AlTiN are medical grade coatings with no toxication in the coating. Applying PVD to these types and all alloy materials reduces corrosion and provides durability decreasing wear and the renewal of tool lowering cost where it's needed. Ask us how today. Coatings | Plating's | Polishing
Aerospace
Aerospace is one of the largest users when it comes to plating's & PVD and Plating's and the reason for that will is because it more durability and reliability by 200%-600%+ and better Performance for a smother glide and stronger part, reducing the cost of replacement's due to longer usage & life. Ask us how Today coatings PVD | Plating's | Polishing
Mold | Die | Cutting tools
PVD on molds, dies & cutting tools plays a very crucial part of the tool life and performance. There are many types of materials these tools work with ranging from plastics and super alloys. these materials can be very abrasive or very hard to work with but when PVD is in motion it offers the tool higher durability and a cooler surface well cutting preventing the tool from braking and allowing the working process to move along longer than usual but 500% minimum. There are many types of PVD used for specific applications like aluminums or steel maybe even anconeal, all these alloys have a different coating for their workload.

Coating Information
pvd coatings
Benefits of PVD
PVD coatings are optimized for many types of punishing environments and are highly used on components, cutting tools, mold, dies, cutting tools, medical devices & implants, dental implants, firearms. The benefit of PVD is to increase surface hardness and lower coefficient of friction properties as well as durability. As a result, these critical parts do not have to be replaced as frequently, if at all, reducing maintenance and unplanned downtime while improving the parts performance & longevity. Today, these pvd coated parts are utilized for a variety of applications from performance automotive and racing to wind turbine shaft bearings and planetary gears; stainless steel cutting blades and piston pumps for food processing; and sliding components in filling and bottling operations. These coatings are also a proven technique for upgrading critical rotating parts in hydraulic drives, pumps and valves for more info contact us today.
Good for Hardened Components
Many components are not coated at all and instead these parts are often made of heat-treated, nitrite or case-hardened steels, along with durable high-performance materials such as titanium or nickel-based alloys.
Even those used in high load, high wear applications are subject to wear and premature failure under poor lubrication. Some industries allow no lubrication at all, such as cryogenic and vacuum systems, clean rooms, food and pharmaceutical equipment. When this is the case, engineers often turn to a variety of coating, plating or pvd options to modify the surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.
Here is an example of coating parts with other types of none pvd coatings like black oxide. Black oxide is a coating produced by a chemical reaction between the iron on the surface of a ferrous metal and oxidizing salts. After a post-treatment with oil, the surface provides protection against corrosion, limited lubricity and prevents galling during metal-to-metal interactions. However, black oxide is not very durable and can be worn away quickly in repetitive, high load applications.
PTFE is another popular coating used as an alternative & is known for its low coefficient of friction but is not recommended for high load applications where it too can wear away. Hard chrome and chemical nickel plating are often specified, as well, to provide protection against wear and corrosion.
Although hard chrome is suitable for components that experience abrasive wear, micro-cracking inherent to the process limits its use against corrosion. Although this can be addressed with thin coatings that increase surface hardness, these solutions only offer limited wear resistance.
Chemical nickel can be applied over a range of hardness. However, the maximum is only 600 HV (Vickers Pyramid Number).
Concerns over polluting compounds, emissions or residues are also associated with these plating techniques.
As we all know PVD and plating's booth provide different properties that are highly needed so making the decision can be tough at times. We here at Hi-tech Surface solutions have brought you the option to have the opportunity of using the best of both worlds, PVD & Plating's. to find out more give us a call or email and we can discuss what you're looking for & provide to you the best of what's needed.

Coating PVD for Gears & Components
Gears experience similar wear conditions. DLC or PVD coating significantly reduces scuffing and pitting in gear as well. In fact, Ta-C + MOS2 has been shown to quadruple the service life of high-speed gear. The standard FZG C Test shows that the fatigue strength is increased by 10-15% over case-hardened but undercoated gears. In the test, the failure criterion for gear service life was defined as single-tooth wear of 4% due to pitting.
Coatings can also benefit worm gears, where lubrication is not always enough to protect helical-gear transmissions against friction and wear.
The sliding motion and the force between the worm and gear faces make it difficult for a lubricant film to form. For this reason, the gear is most often made of bronze in order to avoid scuffing. In service, however, the teeth of the bronze gear wear away quickly and the gear must be realigned or replaced. Coating the steel worm with a carbon-based coating can improve reliability and performance by reducing wear on both the worm and the bronze gear.
