Direct Processing of PVD Hard Coatings via Focused Ion Beam Milling for Microinjection Molding

Hard coatings can be applied onto microstructured molds to influence wear, form filling and demolding behaviors in microinjection molding. As an alternative to this conventional manufacturing procedure, “direct processing” of physical-vapor-deposited (PVD) hard coatings was investigated in this stud...
