We have released our latest video on the official Suga Seisakusho YouTube channel!
In this video, we use Suga Seisakusho’s Cubic Sputtering System “SSP1000” to coat a cutter blade with titanium and titanium nitride (TiN).
Titanium is deposited by sputtering, and nitrogen is then introduced to form a titanium nitride thin film through reactive sputtering. Titanium nitride is widely used as a coating material for cutting tools and other applications.
In this experiment, we applied these coatings to a common cutter blade and observed the changes in its appearance. At the end of the video, we also compare the cutting performance of three blades: an uncoated blade, a titanium-coated blade, and a titanium nitride-coated blade.
[Key Highlights]
- Thin-film deposition on a cutter blade using the SSP1000
- Sputtering using a titanium target
- Reactive sputtering with nitrogen
- Changes in appearance after titanium and titanium nitride (TiN) coating
- Comparison of the cutting performance of three different cutter blades
This video provides an easy-to-understand example of thin-film deposition using an actual sputtering system and a familiar sample.
