TiN
Titanium Nitride
Thanks to its versatility and well-balanced characteristics, the TiN titanium nitride coat is an all-round coating type that has been proving its worth for a long time and is used in many areas of application. The TiN coating system is used for refinement purposes as wear protection during drilling in the machining industry, in the metal forming industry and in plastic processing.

TiCN
Titanium Carbon Nitride
Wear protection under extraordinary conditions: The TiCN coating system with a complex multi-layer structure applied by means of the arc method. Despite its high degree of hardness, TiCN coatings are not excessively brittle - a property that ranks amongst the essential requirements in many application settings - for instance in continuous cutting in machining at non-excessive temperatures at the blade.

CrCN
Chrome Carbon Nitride
CrCN coatings are the number one choice for all those areas of application demanding, above all, abrasion, corrosion and oxidation resistance as
well as a low friction coefficient. CrCN coatings also excel through exceptional adhesion strength, excellent chemical resistance, high temperature resistance in the open air and low levels of tension. These coating systems show good sliding properties at minimal lubrication. High degrees of hardness at very low brittleness allow for the deposition of thicker CrCN coatings (up to 10 m) with very good adhesion properties.

ZrN
Zirconium Nitride
The zirconium nitride coating ZrN excels through excellent corrosion and wear resistance. It is bio-compatible, extremely tough and highly resistant against abrasive wear. Its favourable tribological properties, together with its attractive light yellow colour, make ZrN a preferred coating system also for decorative applications.
