Product catalog summary
Introduction
Surface Technology Coatings, a division of Sutton Tools, specializes in advanced coating solutions. The company is committed to supporting Australian manufacturing through innovation and technology.

CrN (Chromium Nitride) Coating
CrN was developed to address wear issues in applications where titanium-based coatings were ineffective. It offers resistance to adhesive wear, corrosion, and oxidation, making it suitable for machining aluminum and copper, high-temperature die casting, hot forging of brass, and PVC molding and extrusion. CrN is harder than conventional chrome plating and environmentally friendly due to its PVD coating process.

Applications and Benefits
  • Specialized applications in cutting and forming copper, nickel, and monel metal.
  • Enhanced thermal stability and oxidation resistance.
  • Excellent corrosion resistance and low internal stress for superior adhesion under high loads.

Performance Improvements
  • Die casting of aluminum and zinc alloys.
  • Replacement for hard chrome plating.
  • Copper machining and PVC plastic molding and extrusion tools.

Technical Specifications
  • Color: Silver-Grey
  • Coating Thickness: 3 - 5 µm
  • Microhardness: 1750 HV
  • Thermal Stability: Up to 700ºC
  • Coefficient of Friction vs Steel: 0.5

Innovation and Collaboration
Surface Technology Coatings invests heavily in R&D to combine the latest technology with Australian ingenuity. The company is a key financial partner in the Defence Materials Technology Centre (DMTC Ltd.), which aims to enhance Australian Defence capabilities through advanced materials and manufacturing technology. The installation of the Innova Coating System at Surface Technology Coatings supports this vision.
