PVD deposition machine MD1800

automotivecutting tool

Overview
MD1800 is a configurable PVD arc ion plating system engineered for industrial broach tool coating. The system is adapted to broach dimensions, loading method, coating specification and production capacity to deliver repeatable industrial coating results.

Primary functions and purpose
MD1800 performs arc ion plating combined with WET lateral hot filament etching for surface cleaning and activation prior to deposition. The process improves coating adhesion, uniform coverage and wear resistance to support stable cutting performance in demanding broaching applications.

Suitable broach and tool types

• Spline broaches
• Keyway broaches
• Round broaches
• Internal broaches
• Surface broaches
• Other long or special-shaped cutting tools requiring uniform coverage and strong adhesion

Key benefits and capabilities

• Custom configuration: chamber size, loading structure, fixtures and process parameters tailored to broach length, diameter, weight and production volume
• Designed for long and heavy tools: supports secure loading, controlled rotation and reliable coating of long-size, high-mass broaches
• Improved adhesion via WET lateral hot filament etching: pre-deposition cleaning and activation for consistent cutting results
• Arc ion plating technology: delivers dense, well-adhered PVD coatings with efficient deposition rates
• Application-driven process design: coating recipes recommended based on broach material, workpiece, cutting conditions and tool life targets

Customization and engineering
MD1800 can be engineered for specific chamber dimensions, effective coating area, loading fixtures, arc source arrangement and rotation mechanisms. Huasheng designs chamber geometry, fixtures and process flows to match customer production requirements.

FAQs (selected)

• What is MD1800 used for? MD1800 is used for PVD arc coating of broach tools, including long and special-shaped broaches that require custom solutions.
