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.
