• TiCN – a high performance coating forcutting hard and stainless steels
• AlTiN – multi-layer coating for abrasivesteels and high cutting speeds

Coatings Characteristics

CrN

• forming applications
• molds and dies
• machine components
• optimum release for forming tools
• low deposition temperature possible (around 200°C)
