Futura Nano (TiAlN), produced in the INNOVA, is a great all round coating for both HSS and carbide tools, especially in applications where there is a high thermal load.
TiAlN has a nanolayered structure which was engineered to give an optimum balance between hardness and internal stress.
High internal compressive stresses help to reduce the propagation of cracks through a coating therefore delaying the onset of failure. TiAlN also has improved sliding properties.
