Combining premium coating quality with Oerlikon's long-standing TiN expertise, BALIQ® A delivers consistent thread quality and stable process performance across a wide range of materials and threading applications.

Based on Oerlikon's advanced S3p® technology, BALIQ® A combines exceptional smoothness and strong adhesion to support reliable and reproducible threading results. Validated by tap manufacturers worldwide, BALIQ® A brings a new level of TiN-based coating quality to threading applications.

Because threading operations are often performed at the final stages of manufacturing, reliable tool performance is essential to avoid scrap, rework and additional costs.

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.
