The titanium-aluminum-nitride coating (TiAlN), is an all-round coating and universally applicable. TiAlN is a chemical compound of the three elements titanium, aluminum, and nitrogen. The coating thickness is between 1-4 micrometers (μm). The coating offers high resistance to heat and oxidation. This enables working with higher cutting speed and thus accelerating working processes.

The Titanium aluminium nitride 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. In general, it should be noted that both the coating and the tool steel must be suitable for the application in hard materials.

Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) is a hard coating that solves many tribological problems with components that can be coated at temperatures of 450°C - 475°C.  TiAlN is normally applied to steels, hardened steels, and stainless steel materials where high wear resistance and lubricity are needed. TiAlN coating provides exceptional oxidation resistance and extreme hardness.

Aluminum titanium nitride coating with its familiar gold color remains the most popular general-purpose coating. TiAlN has the highest adhesion and ductility characteristics of any of the coatings we offer and remains our best seller. The excellent wear resistance, thermal stability, and low coefficient of friction reduce built-up edge and thus improves thermal transfer of heat away from the tool.

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). It is primarily used in high-temperature environments above the limits of TiN usage.
