Hardcut™
TiSiN coating for extreme cutting conditions
Hardcut™ TiSiN is engineered for high speed machining of hard materials at minimum or zero lubrication conditions. The coating is designed to allow a cutting edge temperature of up to 1100 °C. A distinguishing feature of Ionbond’s Hardcut™ is its composition: a multi-layer coating with a nano-composite outer layer with Si3N4 nano-crystallites in a crystalline TiN matrix. This matrix is designed to protect the cutting edge from heat transfer, oxidation and abrasion.
Hardcut™ can be used on work piece materials that include steels of up to 60 HRC, high nickel content alloys and titanium. Hardcut™ is particularly suited for carbide end mills and gear cutting tools for semi-finishing and finishing operations that involve high temperatures at the chip/cutting edge interface. The cutting speeds generally range from 100 to 300 m/min, depending on cutting conditions and work piece material.
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™ 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™
AlCrN coating for milling and gear cutting for substantial decrease of internal stress and withstanding high cutting temperatures
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.
