TiCX

HDP TiCX is a further improvement on a TiCN coating exhibiting extreme hardness and toughness. TiCX is characterised by its outstanding anti-friction and anti-adhesion properties. TiCX is a real alternative for applications where DLC coatings are used.

Maximum performance is achieved with TiCX in fine blanking and forming of stainless steel, in thread cutting and forming on alloyed and corrosion-resistant steels. TiCX is also an excellent choice in small gear hobbing, broaching, sawing with tools of high-speed steel and in the injection moulding of carbon fiber or glass fiber-reinforced plastics.
