Surface Technology Coatings (STC) is a part of Sutton Tools, was established in 1988 to provide a Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coating service to local industry.<\/p>\n
Since that time, the Melbourne –based Surface Technology Center has grown to be at the forefront of heat treatment and surface engineering technology.<\/p>\n
Surface Technology is the only commercial facility in Australia offering high pressure quench vacuum heat treatment, plasma nitriding, PVD coating and the latest testing and analytical equipment.<\/p>\n
STC coats a range of materials including carbide, high speed steel, hot working die steels, cold work die steels, carbide and cermets, certain copper alloy, stainless steels, titanium and nitriding steels.<\/p>\n
PVD coatings available are: Alcrona, Futura Nano, CrN, TiCN, TiN and newly developed coatings are on the horizon.<\/p>\n
With STC’s latest acquisition, the Innova PVD coating unit, the company can develop new high-quality coatings for the future.
\nThe facility also offers a regrinding service which includes the regrinding of carbide and HSS standard products as well as specials, plus the refurbishment of diamond tools and the manufacture of solid carbide threaded products.<\/p>\n
The Advanced Surface Solutions Facility, which was launched in August 2009 by the Victorian Minister for Industry and Trade, the Hon. Martin Pakula, is well position to place strong focus on developing the latest advances in surface coatings technology and performance testing of cutting tools for the Australian defence industry.<\/p>\n
Using world leading technology, Surface Technology Coatings offers coatings to solve a wide range of problems relating to friction and wear, thereby improving tool performance and increasing tool life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
