Coatings

Ti-NAMITE® and Di-NAMITE® Tool Coatings are

specifically engineered for KSPT solid carbide

rotary tools. The coating lineup includes proprietary

processes that result in optimized tool life and

increased speed and feed rates in a variety of

applications.

CoatingIdentifying ColorLayer StructureThicknessHardness (HV)Coefficient of Friction (Fretting)Thermal StabilityGeneral Information
Titanium Nitride (TiN)goldMultilayer1–5 microns22000.40–0.65600°C / 1112°FA general purpose coating with good adhesion and abrasion resistant properties. Suitable for a wide variety of materials.
Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN)dark greyNano structure1–5 microns37000.301100°C / 2010°FExcellent 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-silverMonolayer1–2 microns40000.10–0.20850°C / 1562°FThis 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-redMultilayer1–5 microns30000.30–0.45400°C / 752°FA very wear resistant coating with high toughness and shock resistance. Good in interrupted cuts found in applications like milling.
Proprietary (TX)blackNano Composite1–5 microns36000.451150°C / 2100°FThe 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)blackMonolayer6–20 microns>80000.15–0.20800°C / 1470°FThis 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)copperNano Composite1–5 microns36000.451150°C / 2100°FFeatures 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.
