Optimizer™ Plus
AICrN premium coating for wet and dry machining
Optimizer™ Plus is a 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. The Ionbond engineered coating design 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.
Optimizer™ Plus is the fruit of years of experiments in our laboratories and field tests at our customer’s facilities. Our Cutting Tool Competence Center has defined the best deposition conditions to achieve exceptional abrasion resistance and to ensure optimal adhesion on both HSS and carbide substrates.
The fine tuning of the deposition parameters gives to Optimizer™ Plus high nanohardness combined with an excellent temperature resistance and superior toughness. Post treatment is not mandatory. Through our improved arc technology Optimizer™ Plus achieves a roughness of 0,09μm Ra, 1,15μm Rz on a 0,04μm Ra and 0,91μm Rz sample
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
