The high thermal stability and resistance to oxidation of aluminum-chromium coatings means that higher feed speeds, cutting performance and metal removal rates can be achieved without difficulty. A coating of just one thousandth of a millimetre of our materials reliably protects your tools against wear even at high temperatures and therefore extends their service life. Our materials are applied using the reactive magnetron sputtering process or arc evaporation.

Whatever the geometry - tubular, spherical or rectangular: We can supply tailor-made targets that are perfect for your application.
