BALINIT® HARDLUBE: the high hardness and temperature resistance of the TiAlN coating provide effective wear protection for cutting edges while the outstanding frictional and lubrication properties of the WC/C coating allow a smooth chips flow. The result: higher manufacturing reliability thanks to consistent and reproducible behaviour.Recommended applications:
•
tapping and drilling in materials that are hard to machine and form long chips
•
MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) or dry machining
