ALCRO-MAX
ALCRO-MAX is a high performance Coating from the PLATIT coatings family. It is based on AlCrN with a titanium addition. Triple coatings are deposited with 3 sections freely programmed in one batch. ALCRO-MAX has been engineered to give an optimum balance between the toughness of the core layer and the abrasion resistance of the top nano-layer. Titanium’s addition reduces the adhesive wear compared to conventional AlCrN coatings, also increasing the micro-hardness up to 3500Hv and stops the crack propagation through the coating. After the coating is applied, it receives a post-polish treatment to smooth out the coating to maximize chip evacuation at even higher speeds and feeds. Our case histories have shown ALCRO-MAX out performs ALTIN in multiple applications. ALCRO-MAX is recommended for a wider range of materials and exotics including high temp alloys, stainless steels, alloy steels, cast iron, high temp nickel base alloys, titanium alloys, hardened tool steel up to 54 HRc, and inconel. This coating has an excellent thermal and chemical stability. Which means it keeps its mechanical properties at very high temperatures up to 950°C. ALCRO-MAX has the best overall properties of any coating we offer and outperforms all generic coatings available on the market.
Post Polish Treatment We’ve adapted a post-coating polish system that buffs our premium ALCRO-MAX coating to a microscopically smooth finish to allow cooler temperatures at higher speeds with better chip evacuation. What does all this mean? A longer lasting, better cutting tool.
