SS 1218
Under Development

Phoenix™
A higher performing multi-layer coating for a wide range of applications. Phoenix combines the best properties of TiN (wide application), TiAlN (high heat resistance) and TiCN (high shock resistance).

• Tools run longer and at higher feeds and speeds
• Reduced heat build-up
• Higher productivity for most applications

ZrN
A mono layer coating that effectively reduces edge build-up when machining aluminum and titanium alloys.
