                                 Common Tool Coatings

• Titanium Nitride (TiN)
General purpose PVD coating that increases hardness and has a high oxidation temperature. This coating works great while cutting or forming with HSS tooling.

•Titanium Carbo-Nitride (TiCN)
The addition of carbon adds more hardness and better surface lubricity. This coating is ideal for HSS cutting tools.

 • Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN or AlTiN)
A formed layer of aluminum oxide gives this tool better life in high heat applications. This coating is primarily selected for carbide tooling where little to no coolant is being used. AlTiN offers a higher surface hardness than that of TiAlN, along with different percentages of aluminum and titanium.
 
• Chromium Nitride (CrN)
The anti-seizure properties of this coating makes it preferred in situations where BUE is common. HSS or carbide cutting and forming tools will be seen with this almost invisible coating.

 • Diamond
A CVD process that offers the highest performance available in non-ferrous materials. Ideal for cutting graphite, MMC (Metal Matrix Composites), high silicon aluminum and many other abrasive materials (Note: True diamond coatings should not be used while machining steels. More heat is generated while cutting steels and thus causes chemical reactions that break down the bonds that hold this coating to the tool).

                           Basic Machining Formulas:

ipr = ipt x number of teeth

rpm = 3.82 x sfm / cutting tool diameter

ipm = ipr x rpm

 
SFM Surface Feet per Minute
RPM - Revolutions per Minute
Dia - Diameter of End Mill
IPT - Chipload, Inch per Tooth
IPM Inches per Minute
IPT Inches per Tooth, Chipload
IPR/FR Inch(Feed) per Revolution


  SFM x 3.82 / Dia = RPM
 
  RPM / 3.82 x Dia = SFM

  RPM x IPT x #FL = IPM

  IPM / RPM / #FL = IPT

  IPM / RPM = IPR (Feed Rate)
 
 
MR Metal Removal Cubic Inches per Minute

ADC - Axial Depth of Cut
RDC - Radial Depth of Cut
IPM - Inches per minute ADC x RDC x IPM = MR


HP Horsepower Required IPM - Inches per minute

RDC - Radial Depth of Cut
ADC - Axial Depth of Cut
PC - Power Constants IPM x RDC x ADC x PC = HP

Schunk-Sino-R
Heavy Duty Milling Chuck





 SINO-R stands for universal application at maximum clamping forces. Developed for heavy-duty cutting, SINO-R is an outstanding alternative to the usual mechanical power chucks.

 SINO-R provides an excellent combination of high radial rigidity and very good damping characteristics.
