Coatings
Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) is a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) thin film coating that is specially designed for use in high temperature operations and materials that are difficult in machining. In many cases, tools may be operated dry. This lowers operation costs and minimizes coolant costs. When run at higher speeds the aluminum turns to aluminum oxide, which protects the edge against heat degradation and wear.

Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) is a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) thin film coating that provides superior wear resistance. Speeds and feeds may be increased in almost all applications. Coolant is beneficial while using this coating.

Amorphous Diamond (AD / DLC) is a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) thin film coating that bridges the gap between crystalline diamond films and other Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) films. It is more stable at elevated temperatures due to its non-hydrogenated character. AD coated tools have been successful in many applications including aluminum, automotive aluminum, graphite, nylon, plastic and wood. This coating may increase tool life three to five times that of an uncoated tool.

True Crystalline Diamond is a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) thin film coating that is the hardest coating available with a hardness rating of 10,000 Vickers, up to three times harder than PVD Metal Nitride and Amorphous Diamond-Like Coatings (DLC). It is an excellent choice to achieve tool life up to ten times longer over uncoated tools when cutting abrasive non-ferrous materials like graphite, hard carbon, and plastic or composites reinforced with glass or carbon fibers. This coating is also recommended for machining aluminum-silicon alloys because the fine grain structure provides a smooth tool surface for good part finish and reduced chip welding.
