The premium HiPIMS coating for high performance applications in unalloyed, alloyed and high speed steel. Optimum adhesion, smoothest surfaces, high hardness values and toughness for your tool. Pure performance.

Developed  for  machining  of  hardened  and  high  alloyed  steel  as  well  as  titanium. It’s very high thermal stability makes the silicon doped material InoxaCon® the first choice for your high end tools.

HALCRON  is an extremely versatile HiPIMS coating developed in house by Addlife specifically for a wide scope of application. Due to its combination of high hardness and toughness, HALCRON can be used on tools that need resistance to abrasive wear while working on soft materials (like cast iron, soft steels, stainless steels & difficult-to-machine materials) and also tools that require impact resistance and durability against crack propagation met when working with hard materials (like hardened steel alloys). It’s coating chemistry which can be used on both carbide and HSS substrates, combats degradation at high machining temperatures lowering diffusion wear and thermal fatigue.

Silicon doping gives HARDLOX® an especially high hardness and oxidation resistance. The sputtering results in a very smooth surface. Titanium, stainless steel or hardened steels, HARDLOX® is just perfect for machining at high temperatures.
