SMT- 227

High Performance Coating for cutting application

SMT-227 is a wear and corrosion resistant titanium nitride hard coating deposited by the State-of-the-art physical vapour deposition (PVD) process

SMT-227 coating provides good performance in Conventional cutting applications. SMT-227 golden colour makes it applicable for many decorative purposes. The dense coating structure keeps the coating intact even in severe conditions. SMT-227coating has hardness above 2500 HV and its extremely inert nature protects it from abrasive & adhesive wear, galling and welding. The optimum coating is determined on the basis of both conditions of use and economic considerations. Tool life increases minimum 2 to 3 times with improved cutting finish compared to uncoated tool. Since, the coating tenaciously clings to rake faces and wear lands; less stock is removed in re-sharpening and more regrinds are possible. Once the coated tool has been re-sharpened, the flanks of the tooth remain protected against welding but the face is exposed. Recoating the tool with SMT-227 coating again trims down conditions which lead to the tooth wear result in increasing profits and productivity. The thickness range is 1-5 µm and can be tailored as per application.
