This blue/gray colored coating (color may vary) offers improved wear resistance with abrasive, adhesive, or difficult-to-machine materials such as cast iron, aluminum alloys, tool steels, copper and its alloys, Inconel, and titanium alloys. Offers improved performance with high-speed milling, gear-cutting tools, and heavy-duty stamping. As with TiN, feeds and speeds can be increased and tool life can improve by as much as 800%. Forming operations with abrasive materials should see improvements beyond those experienced with TiN. Typical coating thickness is 1-5 µm. Adhesion measured by scratch test is 90.0 N. Is not a single material but is a complex structure consisting of TiN and TiC bonds in a crystalline matrix. TiCN is a proprietary multilayered or graded architecture design.
