TiCN
The Coating for Tougher Cases.
Wear protection under extraordinary conditions: The TiCN coating system with a complex multi-layer structure applied by means of the arc method. Despite its high degree of hardness, TiCN coatings are not excessively brittle – a property that ranks amongst the essential requirements in many application settings – for instance in continuous cutting in machining at non-excessive temperatures at the blade.

TiCN – Preferred Areas of Application
- Machining of steel-alloys that are difficult to machine
- High-performance machining at non-excessive temperatures
- HSS milling tools in steel machining
- Metal forming of stainless steel
- Cold forming
High Degrees of Hardness – Excellent Wear Protection – Improved Toughness
Additionally, TiCN excels with excellent adhesion strength and wear resistance, improved toughness, a low friction coefficient and high degrees of thermal conductivity. When compared to TiN-coated tools, one can achieve even longer endurance by using TiCN coatings for purposes of wear protection thanks to their lower levels of friction and improved hardness.
Machining of Steel-Alloys That Are Difficult to Machine
TiCN coatings are exceptionally well suited for milling machines, lathes, drilling and cutting machines for the machining of high and low-alloy steels. They are ideal for areas of application with high feed and cutting rates not yielding excessive temperatures at the cutting edges. Additionally, the coatings are very well suited for HSS milling tools used in the area of steel machining.
Metal Forming
TiCN is furthermore particularly well suited as a wear protection for drawing, punching, pressing and forming tools for the machining of high and low-alloy steels. This coating is used with excellent results in various areas of application in the cold forming of steel and stainless steel.
Application of TiN by means of the DUPLEX method is available.
