OXIDATION TEMPERATURE
400°C / 752°F
THICKNESS
1-5 Microns (based on tool diameter)
HTA
Abrasion resistant, cathodic arc coating. Excellent for high metal removal rate machining. Recommended for the machining of cast iron, hardened die steels up to HRc 65 and other heat resistant alloys.
Best for: High-speed, dry, or abrasive machining
MICROHARDNESS
3300 HV
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
0.45
OXIDATION TEMPERATURE
800°C / 1472°F
THICKNESS
1-5 Microns (based on tool diameter)
HTY
Magnetron sputtering technology gives HTY a smooth surface. The hardness and oxidation temperature of this coating allows it to excel in the machining of low carbon and stainless steels.
Best for: Sticky materials and smooth surface finishes
MICROHARDNESS
3700 HV
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
0.30
OXIDATION TEMPERATURE
1100°C / 2010°F
THICKNESS
1-5 Microns (based on tool diameter)
HTB
A hard coating with a low coefficient of friction. Recommended for high silicon aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, magnesium alloys, no-lead brass, bronze and copper alloys.
Best for: Non-ferrous and reactive materials
MICROHARDNESS
4000 HV
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
0.10 – 0.20
OXIDATION TEMPERATURE
850°C / 1562°F
THICKNESS
1-5 Microns (based on tool diameter)
HDT
HDT is engineered to perform in a diverse range of applications; from alloy steels to hardened materials and titanium. HDT is exceptional for applications requiring high material removal rates by providing excellent wear resistance and high thermal resistance.
Best for: Extreme heat, pressure, and abrasive wear
MICROHARDNESS
3600 HV
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
0.45
OXIDATION TEMPERATURE
1150°C / 2100°F
THICKNESS
1-5 Microns (based on tool diameter)
HAC
HAC has superior thermal properties and high wear resistance. This provides advantages in a variety of applications including milling, sawing, hobbing, hot forging and forming operations. Excellent coating for machining steels, cast irons, and high-temp alloys.
Best for: Thermal cycling and mechanical stress
MICROHARDNESS
3300 HV
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
0.40
OXIDATION TEMPERATURE
1100°C / 2010°F
THICKNESS
1-5 Microns (based on tool diameter)
HTS
HTS is a bilayer AlTiN/TiSiN coating. The AlTiN layer gives the coating durability and resistance to impact, while the nanocomposite TiSiN layer provides hardness and heat resistance. This combination of properties allows HTS to perform at the highest levels in difficult-to-machine materials like titanium and hardened steels. HTS also works well in cast irons, super alloys, and stainless steels.
Best for: Versatile protection in high-temp, tough-material machining
MICROHARDNESS
3600 HV
COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION
0.45
OXIDATION TEMPERATURE
1150°C / 2100°F
THICKNESS
1-5 Microns (based on tool diameter)
