Crosscut™ Plus

Most versatile coating for wet and dry machining at medium to high speeds

The AlCrN based Crosscut™ Plus is the most versatile coating for wet and dry machining at medium to high speeds in milling, drilling and gear hobbing operations with temperatures reaching up to 1050°C. Its all-rounder qualities makes it suitable for the widest range of materials from low to high tensile steels, cast irons, tool steels, stainless steels, titanium and nickel alloys.

Ionbond has developed this series of premium cutting tool coatings using an advanced arc technology. The new process deposits the coatings at far higher energy levels than possible with conventional arc sources. The coatings have a significantly increased density, which leads to improved abrasion resistance and reduced tendency for chipping at the edge of the cutting tool. The coating has fewer growth defects resulting in a smoother surface, which can be further improved with the appropriate post treatment. The cutting performance is enhanced due to the highly controlled compositions and internal stress gradients. The coatings are suitable for HSS and tungsten carbide tools and show the increased performance in dry and wet machining.

AuroraX Plus

AuroraX Plus is the new addition to Ionbond’s Premium Plus coatings with advanced arc technology. AuroraX Plus has been developed primarily for machining difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys, hard materials and stainless steel. When machining these demanding materials, the cutting tool is subjected to extensive wear under severe operating conditions ranging from high temperatures to heavy mechanical loads.

Hardcut™

Engineered for high speed machining of hard materials at minimum or zero lubrication conditions.

Hardcut™ Plus

Hardcut™ Plus, a TiSiN based multi-layer coating, has been developed for high speed end-milling and gear hobbing of the hardest and toughest materials including exotic nickel and titanium alloys under low lubrication and dry conditions.
