Crosscut™
AlCrN coating for milling and gear cutting
Crosscut™ AlCrN features a unique nanostructure for a substantial decrease of internal stress. Crosscut™ is tailored to withstanding cutting temperatures of up to 1050°C. It enables consistent performance in very challenging cutting conditions.
A distinguishing feature of Ionbond’s Crosscut™ is the improved wear performance at the cutting edge of the tool. Uniform distribution of mechanical forces in the vicinity of the cutting edge provides an additional advantage. This property puts Crosscut™ ahead of other coatings, making it excel in applications where similar AlCrN coatings provide only modest lifetime improvements. Crosscut™ boosts the tool performance in dry and lubricated cutting conditions significantly.
Superior performance and productivity gains
Reliable operation of Crosscut™ leads to increased productivity of cutting tools in a wide range of materials, speeds and feeds. Since the coating resists chipping and roughening, the surface quality of the machined part remains exceptionally high throughout the life of the tool. While providing improvements for a wide range of tools, Crosscut™ shines in particular for interrupted cutting applications, such as milling and hobbing.
Technical data
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.
Crosscut™ Plus
Most versatile coating for wet and dry machining at medium to high speeds in milling, drilling and gear hobbing operations
Optimizer™ Plus
Optimizer™ Plus is the latest premium coating of the Ionbond plus-family. At the top of our product line, and in addition to Crosscut™ Plus, this new AlCrN based coating is the optimal coating for wet and dry machining at medium to high speeds for milling, hobbing and bevel cutting operations with temperatures reaching up to 1080°C.
