The combination of a non-metallic element (Nitrogen) with a transition metal element (Titanium) forms a refractory (resistant to alteration) material. The material exhibits many attributes associated with refractory nitride materials.

These attributes include:

1. High hardness
2. Chemical stability
3. Good electrical conductivity
4. Good thermal conductivity
5. Thermal stability
6. Oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures.

Applications for TiN Coating

TiN (Titanium Nitride) is a versatile PVD coating renowned for its hardness, wear resistance, and low friction properties, often recognized by its distinctive gold color. It's widely used in manufacturing and tooling to extend tool life, reduce friction, and improve performance in moderate-wear environments. Below is a summary of its key applications, based on industry standards:

• Cutting and Machining Tools: Ideal for drills, end mills, and reamers when processing materials like steels, stainless steel, and alloys. It enhances tool longevity and surface finish in operations such as milling and turning.
• Punching, Forming, and Drawing: Suitable for punches, dies, and form tools in metalworking with steels and non-ferrous metals, providing abrasion resistance and reducing galling in cold forming processes.
• Plastic Molding and Injection: Offers corrosion protection and low friction for molds and components handling plastics, improving release properties and minimizing wear.
• Medical and Surgical Instruments: Applied to dental and surgical tools for biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and enhanced durability in sterile environments.
  

TiCN performs best at lower temperatures compared to some other coatings like AlTiN, so it's not ideal for very high-heat scenarios. For ojperformancecoating.com, you might want to highlight these in product descriptions to match user needs!
