BALINIT ALCRONA EVO tools
BALINIT ALCRONA EVO cutting tools
BALINIT ALCRONA EVO forming tools

Today’s metal processing operations place even greater mechanical and thermal demands on many of your tools. BALINIT® ALCRONA EVO, a true evolution of the universal coating introduced in 2004, has raised the bar again and delivers outstanding results in gear cutting, milling or punching and forming.

BALINIT® ALCRONA EVO gives you even more productivity than its predecessor coating, with enhanced coating properties that extend the service life of your tools by more than 30%*.

Improve the performance in many metalworking applications and benefit from the many advantages of BALINIT® ALCRONA EVO.

BALINIT ALCRONA EVO
Coating material AlCrN-based
Coating technology Arc
Coating colour bright grey
Coating hardness HIT [GPa]* 44 +/-4
Intrinsic stress [GPa]*** -3.5 +/-1
Max. service temp. [°C]**** 1100
Process temperature [°C] < 500
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.
