Testimonials – Our Assurance of High Quality Coatings
“I just want to say that your Alpha™ coating is amazing. Our operators are not very vigilant at removing the abrasive laser dust and slag but still the coating holds up. Some blocks you alpha coated for me over a year ago are still looking great. Never picks up any base metal and even with minimal lubricant, we can wipe 3/8″ thick, grade 80, hot rolled into a tight channel! It seems to get better with more pressure, after a while it becomes a darker brown and gets even slicker. We used to polish a few times a run. Now, with the Alpha™ coating, we have never had to polish, we use less lubricant and have a better looking product. I will continue to use Alpha™ over any of the competitor’s coatings due to the durability, price, and your turnaround. Thanks for all your help, you make my job a lot easier!” Thanks!
Chris“Nearly everything we resharpen gets sent out to Surface Solutions for coatings. I had one customer that wasn’t using coatings and now that he’s tried it, he wants everything coated. His tools are working better than new. It’s like night and day . . .”
Tony Deschenes (owner)“The stainless steel valve balls that were Alpha™ coated are still going strong after 4 months…we used to only get 2-3 weeks out of them.”
Missouri customer processing abrasive material“The Alpha™ coating that was utilized last time for these small parts worked great. I was very pleased with the result as it greatly increased the part life. I was able to make 500 passes using the scratch testing equipment and saw no visible degradation of the coating under our microscope (in comparison, the chrome plating showed visible signs of wear after only 100 passes.)”
Minnesota customer using Alpha™ on some small probe tips to test abrasive material.“In a drawing application (stainless steel), the Alpha™ coated tooling only produced 15 parts and the parts were too hot to touch. Putting CrN on the tool resulted in over 500 parts, with the parts being just warm to the touch.”
Sheet Metal Forming Customer“Alpha cutters are amazing! And I hear TiAlN can only get better… Either way we are going to ship you a huge set to get processed asap… Thank you so much! Kirk is thinking that these cutters just eliminated an entire process to the current one we have to do!!! We are actually amazed at how much time this is saving on that process. Makes me wonder what else we are doing the hard way..LOL!”
