Cutting Tools
EXXTRAL®-plus, a coating based on aluminum-titanium nitride, for the highest requirements in cutting of hardened steel, in case of high-performance cutting with or without cooling lubricant.
The anthracite-coloured EXXTRAL®-plus is characterized by a very high hardness. The properties are retained up to high thermal and mechanical loads. EXXTRAL®-plus is highly inoxidizable and is provided with a low heat conduction coefficient.

Applications:
Deposition technology:
Application of the EXXTRAL® multilayer coating is implemented by means of PVD technology. This allows the deposition of the layer on tool steels, HSS, cemented carbides or many other materials with temperatures less than 450° C.
