BÖHLER Mexico is home to a state-of-the-art physical vaporization coating (PVD) center, equipped with the latest in PVD coating process technology. PVD is a vacuum coating technique that creates a film on the surface of the material required to increase its hardness and improve the properties of the substrate to combat various wear and tear. The film also improves part quality, creates higher productivity and increases tool life. An important advantage of PVD coating is its use of low temperature during the process, which avoids distortions in the tool.

BÖHLER’s PVD coating center specializes in creating custom coatings for the automotive, die-casting, plastic injection tooling, aerospace and aerospace industries; committed to meeting a wide range of customer needs.

The coating center works hand in hand with BÖHLER’s steel division and heat processing division to offer our customers a complete solution: we can advise on an application with material selection, heat treatment specifications and coating technology.

At BÖHLER, we are dedicated to providing on-time delivery, competitive pricing for high-performance coatings and exceptional customer service.

TIGRAL® PVD coating is designed for tools requiring very high resistance against oxidation and abrasion. It is a two-step coating process, composed of a plasma nitride and followed by a monolayer matrix coating. This monolayer matrix composition creates a very ductile film, ideal for abrasive environments such as die casting and hot forging. TIGRAL® coating avoids the drawbacks associated with high temperature coatings, but easily matches their performance levels. The low temperature application process allows the metallurgical characteristics of the steel to be maintained. The unique chemistry of TIGRAL® offers protection against materials that corrosively attack the tool steel, resulting in reduced adhesive and alloy wear between the work and tool materials, improved part release and higher productivity.

DUPLEX-TIGRAL® Coating

VARIANTIC® coating is a high performance coating consisting of a specially designed plasma nitriding process combined with a low temperature PVD nano-coating. This nanocoating feature greatly reduces stress and improves ductility, which increases the longevity of the coating by avoiding micro-cracks in the film. The VARIANTIC® coating was developed to avoid the distortions and disadvantages associated with high temperature coating processes, such as CVD coating and TD treatment, all while providing equivalent results. This coating allows tools to be easily stripped and recoated multiple times to maximize service life without damaging the substrate. VARIANTIC® coating is ideal for high pressure applications where adhesive and abrasive tool wear is significantly reduced, providing impressive production improvements.
