All data given are approximate values, depending on application, environment and test conditions. Coating hardness HIT [GPa] Measured by nano indentation according to ISO 14577. The hardness can be adapted to the application. Coefficient of friction (dry) versus steel determined by dry disc ball test with a steel ball according to ASTM G99. These values may be exceeded during run-in. Maximum service temperature [°C] These are approximate values.
High hardness: protection against abrasive wear, longer tool life, lower production costs.
High thermal stability up to 500°C: possibility of MQL and dry finishes.
Protection against adhesive wear: longer tool life and better quality of the machined component.
dialong® has proven effective on cutting tools for turning, milling, drilling, countersinking, reaming operations of non-ferrous materials such as:
- aluminum alloys up to 13% Si
- brass, copper, bronze, silver, gold, platinum
- some types of titanium
- graphite, FR4 PCBs and composite materials
- wood, plastic, epoxy resins
