Ideal for most general purpose machining, medical tools, injection molding and moderate forming applications. Low deposition temperature of 400°F makes it ideal for temperature sensitive substrates. Attractive light gold color and is used in wear- resistant decorative applications and medical tools. Due to its high lubricity, it is a good candidate for machining non- ferrous metals such as titanium, brass, copper and aluminum. Hard general purpose coating deposited using our patented switched cathodic arc process. TiCN is harder than TiN and is well suited for medium severity cutting applications, primarily interrupted cutting. Tough lubricious coating deposited using our patented switched cathodic arc process. The very low deposition temperature of 400°F makes it ideal for temperature sensitive materials. CrN is an extremely tough coating and is ideal for metal- forming/stamping and similar applications. Super-hard coating with high temperature resistance developed specifically for dry machining applications. Breakthrough PVD coating engineered for today's high velocity projectile delivery systems. It not only has corrosion shield but also thermal stability. Critical protection of high precision, specialty weapons and accessories. Non reflective, optimum wear resistance and lubricity. Hard and abrasion resistant coating with high temperature resistance developed specifically for high speed and dry machining applications. It is recommended for the machining of work hardening stainless steels, cast iron and hardened die steels up to approximately 60 HRc. High performance coating developed specifically for high speed machining of aluminum and aluminum alloys. The coating chemistry has a low aluminum affinity, thereby eliminating edge build-up, the primary cause of failure during aluminum machining.
