Key Characteristics

Primary Applications

machining / cutting of iron based materials metal forming plastic moulding

cast aluminium and machining copper generally non-ferrous and other nonferrous materials materials machining metal forming machining of fibreglass, nylon and plastic moulding (improved most polymer demoulding) materials aluminium and magnesium die casting

best choice for machining of hardened steel work cutting under extreme conditions pieces (hard , abrasive for use on carbide materials, high speed, dry cutting) end mills

coating for a wide range of carbide, cermet and high speed steel tooling

precision components

machining of high speed interrupted cutting operations, semi-dry hardened steel (> 54 HRc) or dry machining operations, metal cutting tasks inconel machining lubricated, semidry or dry machining where other coatings reach their limits of roughing (stocking) thermal and mechanical load with specially adapted EXXTRAL ros coating (up to 7m)

punching & forming, minimal lubrication or machining of all dry types of steel under dry as well as wet plastic injection machining conditions & moulding

depends on size of tools, micro tools also smaller thicknesses necessary

for

forming and excellent for metal punching - reduced cold rewelding forming (stainless steel) medical applications - biocompatible & corrosion resistant decorative industry

excellent for drilling moving parts, dry high speed operations, semi-dry in steel or dry machining drawing, stamp excellent for drilling ing, punching, operations in steel forming tools for (up to 45 HRC) processing of high and low alloy steel
