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.
Characteristics in cutting:
Highlights:
• High resistance against temperature changes, oxidation and abrasive wear • Specialist for machining abrasive aluminum alloys • Usage also in chipless forming
