According to the usual theory, tool geometry, cutting materials and coatings each account for 1/3 of the tool's performance, but Dr. Diethard Thomas, a professor at LMT Research Institute, believes that coating technology now accounts for 45% of the total. Become the most important part. At the end of the 1990s, the number of coating systems was only about 10, and the number of coating systems has now dramatically increased to more than 70. “In terms of development, coating technology will move in the direction of special coating systems,†Thomas said. “Like the Nanolock nanocrystalline bond coat for the first time in the world or the new nano-multiple for hobs. Layer spherical coating". With these technologies, not only can the tool life be extended by 30%, but it also ensures the efficiency of the tool after reprocessing.
Coating technology is the key to tool development
Coating technology became the central topic of LMT at AMB 2008. “Coating technology has played a key role in improving tool efficiency,†said Dr. Michael Heinrich, General Manager of LMT. Therefore, the development of coating technology and the reprocessing of tools have become the core of LMT's strategy. “By the end of 2009, we intend to install 10 new coating equipment on a global scale,†Heinrich announced.
