Common Coatings

• TiN (Titanium Nitride): A classic, general-purpose coating that increases surface hardness, reduces friction, and provides good wear resistance.
• TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride): Slightly harder than TiN, providing a bit more wear resistance and heat resistance.
• TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride): A high-performance coating offering excellent hardness, heat resistance, and oxidation resistance. This translates to longer tool life under demanding conditions.
• AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride): Similar to TiAlN, with outstanding hardness and heat resistance properties for superior wear protection.

Specialized Coatings

• AlCrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride): Provides exceptional hot hardness and wear resistance for very heavy-duty cutting. Can handle extreme temperatures better than some other coatings.
• Diamond Coatings: The ultimate in wear resistance. Used for machining highly abrasive materials, but may be more expensive than other options.
• Multilayer Coatings: Combining different layers of the above coatings (example: TiN/TiAlN) can create optimized properties for specific materials and applications

Important Considerations

• Substrate Material The type of coating that's appropriate will depend partially on whether the cutter is made of HSS, carbide, etc.
• Workpiece Material: The hardness and properties of the material being machined will influence the best coating choice.
• Machining Parameters: Aggressive cutting speeds or high temperatures may necessitate a more specialized high-temperature coating.

Conclusion

Coatings significantly improve the performance, longevity, and versatility of double angle shank cutters. Baucor, as a leading manufacturer, will not only provide you with high-quality cutters but the expertise to select the perfect coating to maximize the return on your investment.
