i Technical information 3. PVD COATINGS USED FOR TOOLS HL COATING Coating TiAIN + WC/C Multilayer Structure nanocomposite Hardness 3000 HV0,05 Max. working temp. 800°C Coefficient of friction 0,15 Dark Grey Color of coating High performance properties of the HL coating have been achieved by application of the advanced nanocomposite structure. TiAlN layer, with its high hardness and temperature resistance, provides a stable, resistant to abrasion base of the coating. The top WC/C layer consists of tungsten carbide nanocrystallites surrounded by a carbon ply features excellent tribological properties. Hard WC separations provide abrasion resistance, while maintaining excellent the sliding properties of carbon. By combining advantages of two layers, the HL coating is ideal for processing of a wide variety of materials, it improves chips evacuation, reduces cutting forces and protects cutting edges from the impact of high temperatures. The HL-coated tools can work with the minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL). The coating is designed for processing materials from the Groups P, M, K, N, S. TS COATING Coating TiAIN + TiAISiN Structure Nanocomposite Hardness 3800 HV0,05 Max. working temp 1100°C Coefficient of friction 0,15 Coppery Color of coating Due to silicon content in TiAlN coating, TS has multilayer nanocomposie structure. TS is being produced in the newest HiPIMS technology which ensures mechanical properties unreachable for other methods. Coatings produced in HiPIMS technology are characterized by the highest cracking resistant. Composition and coating 12 technology causes that new TS coating works very well both in traditional materials from P, K ISO groups and indifficult to machine M, S groups. 280
