• For ferrous metals
• Prevents chip build-up on the cutting edges, especially in low carbon steels
• Oxide layer protects surface
• Good carrier of lubricants
• Increases surface hardness
• Better lubricant carrying properties
• Abrasive materials- cast iron and Aluminium alloys
• Abrasive materials- cast iron and heat treated steel
• Difficult to machine materials, such as stainless steel
• Higher speeds and feeds
• Reduces or eliminates use of coolants
• Excellent friction and lubricating properties of the coating provide optimal chip flow
• Tapping and drilling of hard to machine materials
• Suitable for minimum quantity lubrication( MQL) and dry machining
• Low alloy steels and high tensile steels
• Hardened steels up to 54 HRC
• Ideal for carbide tools
• Longer tool life
• Higher cutting speeds and feeds
• Superb chip evacuation
• Greater number of regrinds
