Performance
Applications
  • Hardness: 2,000–2,500 HV
  • Temperature resistance: 1100F (lower than AlTiN)
  • Oxidation resistance: Moderate
  • Low coefficient of friction: Reduces tool wear
  • Chemical inertness: Good corrosion resistance

Cutting Tools

  • Used on drills, taps, reamers, end mills, saw blades, and lathe tools.
  • Improves wear resistance and cutting performance, especially in general-purpose machining.

Injection Molding

  • Coated on molds to reduce wear and improve part release (especially for plastic molding).

Medical and Dental Tools

  • Used for surgical instruments and implants (bio-compatible and corrosion-resistant).

Decorative Applications

  • Widely used in jewelry, watches, door hardware, and bathroom fittings for its gold-like appearance and durability.

Aerospace and Automotive

  • Applied to components that undergo moderate wear and heat conditions, such as pistons and valve parts.
