What does TiN coating do?

Titanium nitride (TiN) coating is wear resistant, inert and reduces friction. Use it on cutting tools, punches, dies and injection mold components to improve tool life two to ten times, or more, over uncoated tools.

Can aluminum be Titanium Nitride coated?

The aluminium-titanium-nitride coating (AlTiN), is a chemical compound of the three elements aluminum, titanium, and nitrogen. The coating thickness is between 1-4 micrometers (μm). The special feature of the AlTiN coating is the very high resistance to heat and oxidation.

Is TiN coating durable?

TiN is also used as a protective coating on the moving parts of many rifles and semi automatic firearms, as it is extremely durable.

Can aluminum be PVD coated?

With PVD, a wide variety of metals can be deposited including aluminum, chromium, titanium, stainless steel, nickel chrome, tin, etc.

Is TiN coating safe for cooking?

Tin is non-reactive and rarely toxic to humans, so it is a relatively safe coating for copper pans. Also of note, however: tin combined with carbon (organotins) are used in making plastics, food packages, pesticides, paints, and wood preservatives, and these combinations are highly toxic.

Can you titanium coat aluminum?

The TiAlN coating is very well suitable for cutting hard materials like e.g. steel (N/mm²) <1,100 and stainless steel, as well as titanium alloys. As an all-round coating, it is also used for cutting aluminum, brass, bronze, and plastic.

What is AlCrN coating?

Alcrona (AlCrN), produced in the INNOVA, is a Titanium free coating for broad application in machining and forming operations. Alcrona has remarkable wear resistance at lower speeds and feeds and under high mechanical loads.

How is titanium coating done?

The coating material (Ti) is vaporized, and a reactive gas such as N2is introduced and ionized. The vaporized titanium atoms then react with the ionized nitrogen to form TiN compound that deposits on the substrate to form the coating.

Can you nitride coat aluminum?

Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) is a thin film coating that was developed from Titanium Nitride. TiAlN offers higher temperature resistance than TiN, as well as slightly higher hardness and especially higher hot hardness (i.e. the hardness at high temperatures).
