New equipment for depositing nanocomposite coatings
New equipment allows deposition of hard and tough nanocomposite tool coatings.
Top Coat
Molybdenum disulfide tool coatings improve the machining of aluminum, titanium and nickel-base alloys--even when dry.
Raising Al
Aluminum-titanium-nitride coatings continue to evolve.
Slippery When Blue
A coating system that combines a patented surface impingement process and tungsten disulfide prolongs cutting tool life, but does it promote faster speeds?
Layers of Control
In-house coating of cutting tools is more viable than ever.
Crystal Clear
Crystalline-diamond coatings can make tool performance sparkle.
