Ferrous Metal Solutions
AlTiN + TiSiN
HTS is a bilayer AlTiN/TiSiN coating. The AlTiN layer gives the coating durability and resistance to impact, while the nanocomposite TiSiN layer provides hardness and heat resistance. This combination of properties allows HTS to perform at the highest levels in difficult-to-machine materials like titanium and hardened steels. HTS also works well in cast irons, super alloys, and stainless steels.
