| Coating | Identifying Color | Layer Structure | Thickness | Hardness (HV) | Coefficient of Friction (Fretting) | Thermal Stability | General Information |
| Titanium Nitride (TiN) | gold | Multilayer | 1–5 microns | 2200 | 0.40–0.65 | 600°C / 1112°F | A general purpose coating with good adhesion and abrasion resistant properties. Suitable for a wide variety of materials. |
| Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) | dark grey | Nano structure | 1–5 microns | 3700 | 0.30 | 1100°C / 2010°F | Excellent thermal and chemical resistance allows for dry cutting and improvements in performance of carbide. The coating has a high hardness giving great protection against abrasive wear and erosion. |
| Titanium DiBoride (TiB2) | light grey-silver | Monolayer | 1–2 microns | 4000 | 0.10–0.20 | 850°C / 1562°F | This ceramic based coating ensures a smooth surface and a low affinity to cold welding or edge build up, which makes it optimal for aluminum and copper applications. It has high toughness and high hardness. |
| Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) | pink-red | Multilayer | 1–5 microns | 3000 | 0.30–0.45 | 400°C / 752°F | A very wear resistant coating with high toughness and shock resistance. Good in interrupted cuts found in applications like milling. |
| Proprietary (TX) | black | Nano Composite | 1–5 microns | 3600 | 0.45 | 1150°C / 2100°F | The structural design of Ti-Namite-X is adapted to meet a diverse range of applications; everything from high- and low- alloy steels to hardened materials (up to 65 HRC core hardness). Ti-Namite-X is suitable for operations which require high cutting speeds, high temperatures at the cutting edge, and high metal removal rates. |
| Crystalline Diamond (Diamond) | black | Monolayer | 6–20 microns | >8000 | 0.15–0.20 | 800°C / 1470°F | This is the hardest coating available with the best abrasion resistance. It is carbon based so it is limited in application capabilities. This coating is suitable for machining highly abrasive, non-ferrous materials such as CFRP and graphite. |
| Proprietary (TM) | copper | Nano Composite | 1–5 microns | 3600 | 0.45 | 1150°C / 2100°F | Features include high wear resistance, reduced friction, and excellent prevention of edge build up. This coating provides superior material removal rates and tool life when used in high performance operations with difficult to machine materials like titanium. |
