What is TiCN (titanium carbon nitride coating)?

The titanium carbon nitride coating TiCN is distinguished by extreme hardness and high toughness. Coated tools are outstandingly wear-resistant. The low coefficient of friction protects against cold-welding. TiCN coating is not recommended for high heat applications due to the relatively low maximum operating temperature. Threading and some milling applications are a natural fit.

Coating Properties:

        1. Coating Material                         :  TiCN
        2. Hardness (HV 0.05)                    :  3,400
        3. Coating Temperature (°F)             :  930
        4. Friction Coefficient on Steel (dry)  :  0.25
        5. Thickness (µm)                           :  1.5 - 5
        6. Oxidation Resistance (°F)             :   840
        7. Color                                         :  gray-violet
        8. Foodstuff-neutral                         :   Yes

Recommended applications:

        1. milling (wet, moderate cutting speed)
        2. tapping, thread forming
        3. punching with high mechanical loads
        4. forming of ferratic and austentic steels
        5. plastic injection molding (melts with abrasive fillers or high fiberglass content)
