Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN), or aluminum titanium nitride
(AlTiN), what's really in a name? Actually, quite a bit. TiAlN
has traditionally been a mono-layer, constant Ti/Al ratio, while
AlTiN typically has varying amounts of aluminum in the film.
Our TiAlN is actually AlTiN because our coating has a gradually
increasing percentage of aluminum in it as one goes through the
coating, starting at the coating - substrate interface.
The design of this coating provides exceptional
oxidation resistance and extreme hardness. That's why
this coating works well in very demanding cutting tool applications,
especially when tools are being pushed to the max. |
