| TiCN |
| (Titanium Carbonitride) |
| TiCN has a fine grain dense structure that provides excellent toughness and high hardness. TiCN is harder and tougher than TiN, consequently it exhibits a high resistance to edge chipping. This coating is a good choice for milling, forming and punching tools that encounter high mechanical stresses. TiCN is also recommended for applications cutting highly abrasive and/or gummy materials such as cast iron, brass and some cast aluminium alloys. LVEB TiCN is extremely smooth. Applications and Benefits • High performance applications • Difficult to machine materials • Abrasive materials - cast iron and aluminium alloys • Adhesive materials - copper and copper based alloys • Higher speeds and feeds possible for enhanced machine productivity compared to TiN • Wear resistance and toughness superior to TiN Improved performance with • Higher speed conventional milling • Gear cutting tools • Heavy duty stamping • Plastic moulds and extrusion tools for plastics containing >30% glass fillers (abrasion resistance) • Deep drawing tools Colour Blue - Grey Coating Thickness 2 - 4 µm Microhardness 3000 HV Thermal Stability up to 400ºC Coeff.
