F for Firex: F-coat achieves quantum leap

The red violet F-coat on TiAlN-TiN basis combines the advantages of the TiN-, TiAlN- and TiCN coats and offers incredible universal application possibilities. The performance increases are enormous, to the extent that we are talking about a similar quantum leap as in 1980, when we were the first tool manufacturer to introduce the golden colored TiN drill.

Like all our hard coatings, the F-coat is applied in our own coating plants using the PVD process but using completely new technology. The procedure is tried and tested. F-coated tools are already available.

... and here are the 5 most important advantages:

  • all-round coat achieving two to three times the performance of TiN.

  • excellent, near "fire-resistant" heat resistance, considerably better than with TiAlN.

  • high toughness, therefore well-suited for interrupted cutting

  • F-coat plus MOVIC - the ideal combination for dry and HSC machining. You can take comfort in knowing that F-tools will survive the hellish torments of the cutting process

  • very high hardness: 3600 HV 30.
