PVD is used to apply a hard TiC layer on top of a layer of TiN. The resulting multilayer coating has the gray-like coloration of titanium carbide nitride (TiCN).
Features
Typical Applications
High wear resistance
Maintain high adhesion as before, due to under laid TiN film
Low thermal distortion due to low heat coating (500°C)
Gear cutting tools (hobs and pinion cutters, etc.) and cutting
tools.
