Applied Surface Coatings through the Plasma Process

Abstract

The need for new materials with very specific functional properties, and the tools for your mechanical conformation, have risen greatly the cost of the machining processes, and the cost of the finished parts.
Surface coatings, allow to obtain the required mechanical properties, on a base material of low cost and easy machining. The plasma coating processes produce improved behavior surfaces and have among others the following advantages:
•Allow higher quality results, and in many cases unique properties compared to other conventional technologies.
•There are not contaminants; make efficient use of energy apply to more materials and have high operational safety.
•They apply to the component, tool or part of piece when they are finished, namely, that is part of the final manufacturing step, and therefore directly influence elements that already have a high added value.
