TiN Coating
Approved to ISO 9001 standards, M.R. Machine Knives’ TiN Coating (Titanium Nitride) is a cost-effective way of increasing the life of the tool that is coated. TiN coating adds a thin film of approximately 2-4 micrometers to the surface of the blade, with a hardness of above 70Hrc, leaving the coating effective to most materials, including:
- Stainless Steel
- Tool Steel
- Carbon Steel
- High Speed Steel
- Chrome/Nickel Plated Steels
Serviced at around 500ºc, the coating adds an aesthetically pleasing gold colour to the surface of the steel.
Benefits of TiN coating include:
- Increased life of cutting tool
- Decreased downtime on cutting lines
- Can be re-coated after regrinding or repolishing.
