TiCN is a smart upgrade for demanding cutting environments that require more strength than TiN, offering several significant advantages

• Higher Hardness for Tougher Jobs: TiCN coatings provide superior hardness compared to TiN, enabling tools to withstand more rigorous applications and challenging materials without premature wear.
• Better Lubricity than TiN: The enhanced lubricity of TiCN reduces friction during machining, which translates to less heat generation and improved chip evacuation.
• Ideal for Tapping, Forming, and Dry Machining: TiCN's combination of hardness and lubricity makes it exceptionally well-suited for operations like tapping and forming, where preventing material build-up and reducing torque are crucial.

Machining and Cutting Tools

• Drills, end mills, inserts, and taps benefit from AlTIN coating for high-speed machining.
• Extends tool life.

Aerospace

• Used in tooling for high-performance alloys and composite materials.
• Ideal for titanium and nickel-based alloys.

Automotive

• Applied on components and tools that undergo high stress and temperature, such as engine parts and gear cutting tools.

Medical

• Used on surgical instruments and orthopedic implants for durability and biocompatibility.

Die and Mold Making

• Coating improves the performance of tools cutting abrasive materials like glass-filled plastics or hardened steels.
