<p><strong>Coating: </strong><em>AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride)</em></p> <p>Ideal for high temperature cutting operations in many materials such as titanium and nickel alloys, Co-Cr-Mo, stainless steels, alloy steels and cast irons. When exposed to high temperature it forms a hard aluminum oxide layer.</p> <p>As temperatures increase, the coating insulates the tool and rejects heat into chips.</p> <ul> <li>Very tough coating that will hold up in heavy and interrupted cuts.</li> <li>Ideal for smaller depths of cut and excels in high speed and dry machining applications and when machining hardened steel.</li> </ul>
