Highly stressed tools such as drills, chamfers and cutting inserts often bear up the demands of the manufacturing process of work pieces and semi-finished products by a combination of an adequate base material and a specific coating. These are amongst others Titan carbides-, nitrides and diamond coatings.
The workgroup "Hard and super-hard tool coatings" deals with the advancement of these systems and the allotment of new domains. Currently rapid tests before chipping, standardisation of the coating characterisation and new markets for those coatings are discussed.
