The X-LC coating is a “soft” coating unlike TiN or TiCN “hard” coatings. X-LC lubricates and cools the cutting edge by lowering friction. It also prevents edge build-up cutting Aluminum and other non ferrous materials such as Titanium, Inconel, Platinum, Copper, Brass, Gold, Silver, Lead, etc.
Further applications include bearings and parts with sliding contact.
Excellent properties as a dry lubricant film in outer space.
