Achieves over 2 times chipping resistance compared with conventional coating
thanks to the improved coating strength.
Drastically improves the adhesion resistance and reduces the occurrence of abnormal
damage thanks to excellent surface smoothness.
Improves the corner visibility with an unique color tone.
Employing our unique super multi-layered thin coating structure, similar to the Super ZX Coat,
this new composition is a highly thermal resistant coating with improved coating adhesion
strength to the substrate.
Utilizing a new TiAlSiN-based super multi-layered composition structure to achieve
excellent wear and oxidation resistance.
Drastically improves the peel-off resistance of the coating by improving the
boundary control technology between the carbide substrate and coating.
Achieves over 2 times greater fracture resistance in stainless steel machining compared with conventional grades.
