SMT- 2267

High Performance Coating for cutting application with low friction coefficient

SMT-2267 is a titanium carbo-nitride coating deposited by the State-of-the-art physical vapour deposition (PVD) process

SMT-2267 is highly wear resistant and hard coating providing solutions to lots of applications like high speed cutting, stamping, punching etc. SMT-2267 provides higher hardness and lower co-efficient of friction than titanium nitride (TiN). Addition of carbon atoms in the TiN FCC crystal structure enhances wear resistance property and also reduces friction co-efficient of the coating. The graded structure improves the impact toughness of SMT-2267 coating that widens the range of its application in various industries. It is not, however, a replacement for all TiN applications. SMT-2267 is recommended for cutting, punching and wear applications where moderate temperatures are generated. SMT-2267 coating displays its special strengths in tapping and thread forming, high load punching and metal forming applications. The coating thickness range is 2-3 µm and can be tailored as per application
