A revolutionary tool coating has just opened a completely new productivity dimension in milling and hobbing operations: BALINIT® ALCRONA is the first product of the G6 coating generation developed by Balzers. So far, titanium-based coatings such as TiAlN, AlTiN or TiCN have defined the benchmark. Now, AlCrN (aluminium chromium nitride) is the new magic formula.
Unmatched hot hardness and oxidation resistance are two unique properties that elevate AlCrN coatings a cut above the rest. In conventional machining operations as well as in applications involving heavy mechanical and thermal stresses, these properties translate into unrivalled wear resistance. And that’s exactly what it takes to more effectively tap the potential of modern machine tools.
The advantages are obvious: Thanks to higher cutting speeds, more parts can be produced per time unit, decisively increasing productivity and competitiveness. BALINIT is ideally suited for dry and wet machining of unalloyed steels as well as high-strength and high-hardness (up to 54 HRC) steels.
