nACRo is PLATITs nanocrystalline nanocomposite. Based on CrN adhesion layer, it has a AlTiCrN microcrystalline core layer for toughness and a AlCrSiN top layer which guarantees thermal stability and wear resistance. Also, nACRo can also be deposited on sharp cutting edges for machining wood, aluminum alloy with Si content > 12% and titanium alloys such as TiAl6V4. Furthermore, nACRo can be used for aluminum injection molding.

nACo is one of PLATIT’s best-known coating brands. It has proven itself on the market for over 20 years. nACo is an AlTiSi-based nanocomposite coating and performs best in the field of milling and drilling C-steels.

The use of nACo provides excellent adhesion and good performance even for more unusual applications such as milling with coated ceramic tools and CBN tools.

PSiX is a new PLATIT nanocomposite coating with a super-hard top layer. PSiX is based on TiXCo3 but has a silicon-free AlTiN base. Therefore, the aluminum content of PSiX is higher, which increases the coating’s thermal stability. The coating is temperature optimised and therefore excellent for hard machining processes like finishing and roughing.

ta-C belongs to the PLATIT DLC3 hydrogen-free coating generation with over 50 % sp3 content. The high sp3 bond fraction results in a higher density, hardness (at ambient and elevated temperature), thermal stability, oxidation resistance, residual stress and lower thermal conductivity.
