The AlTiN-based BALIQ® ALTINOS is highly wear-resistant, even at high operating temperatures. The result: Very high thermal stability and long tool life, which means far fewer tool changes.

Moreover, with its perfectly smooth surface and cutting-edge quality, BALIQ® ALTINOS offers significant performance advantages such as optimum chip removal, reduced built-up edge formation, whilst, at the same time, providing outstanding adhesion to the substrate.

The high thermal stability and wear-resistance of the premium AlTiN-based coating are particularly beneficial when machining demanding materials, even when micro-machining steels up to HRC 56. The associated performance gains also lead to significant cost and time savings.

BALIQ® ALTINOS is perfectly suited for applications where indexable inserts, mills, drills and micro-tools are used:

  • Reliable machining of critical and expensive workpieces, especially in micro-machining
  • High micro-machining process reliability and efficiency
  • Precise, high performance coating
  • BALIQ® coatings are defect-free, eliminate the need for mechanical post-treatment (polishing)
  • Sustainable coating, can be reconditioned

BALIQ® ALTINOS replaces the previously available coating BALIQ® MICRO ALTINOS providing the same properties and advantages.

BALIQ ALTINOS

General remark All given data are approximate values, they depend on application, environment and test condition.
*Coating hardness HIT [GPa] Measured by nano indentation according to ISO 14577. For multilayers the hardness of the different layers varies. Hardness can be adapted to the application.
***Intrinsic stress [GPa] Measured by XRD and/or bending method (Stoney equation). The calculated thermal stress has been substracted.
****Max. service temp. [°C] These are approximate values out of the field. Due to thermodynamic laws there is a dependency of pressure in application.
