TiCN – Titancarbonitrid – If it should be a little harder than TiN
Our TiCN is a coating with a complex multilayer structure applied using the arc technique. Despite its great hardness, TiCN is not excessively brittle. This is necessary for numerous applications, such as in interrupted cutting operations when temperatures at the cutting edge are not excessive. Thanks to the reduced friction and enhanced hardness, the use of TiCN coatings often result in a further significant service life extension compared to TiN coated tools.
