Ionbond™ 42
DLC Coating for machining Al alloys and gummy materials
Ionbond™ 42 is a Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating that is suited for machining aluminium alloys and other sticky materials such as plastics where moderate (<350°C) cutting edge temperatures are generated. This thin coating is designed to maintain maximum cutting edge sharp-ness while facilitating extreme smoothness of the coating chip evacuation, moving heat away from the cutting edge.
Variety of standard cutting applications
Ionbond™ 42 shows excellent performance in drilling and reaming aluminium of alloys, especially for aerospace applications. The low coefficient of friction combined with sharp cutting edges eliminates sticking and built up edge, providing a clean surface finish. The lower deposition temperature allows for deposition on carbide, HSS and brazed tools.


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™
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.
