Extension of the service life by three to four times with titanium nitride layers
With titanium nitride layers, a massive extension of the service life of precision tools can be achieved. TiN is still the best solution for many applications: both in the manufacture of tools and decorative applications due to its ceramic surface properties and an exclusive touch with a gold-like color.

Medical technology
Titanium Carbonitride TiCN - a good candidate for cutting or forming metal
With titanium, sophisticated TiN and TiCN coatings are possible that:
​
have high hardness and toughness
offer excellent properties of wear resistance
due to their low roughness (TiCN layers) offer effective protection against cold welding
Due to the gold-like color, enable the production of inexpensive and at the same time exclusive-looking decorative products
Both ARC, Sputter, HiPIMS as hybrid coatings can be produced
INNOVATIVE COATINGS
TO MEET THE HIGH MARKET AND CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS
​
The crystal structure of TiN can be adjusted by its broad deposition temperature from 180 ° C to 480 ° C.
This means that specific coating parameters can also be individually adapted.
​
Low-stress TiN coatings can be produced by optimizing coating parameters.
