** 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.

*** Max. service temp. [°C] — These are approximate values out of the field.
Due to thermodynamic laws there is a dependency of pressure in application.
