Hitachi Tools has developed a coating that extends tool life by a factor of two

Hitachi Tools has developed a nano composite coating "Advanced TH Coating" that has higher wear resistance and oxidation resistance. In the cutting of high hardness materials, the service life is twice that of the previous "TH coating".

Compared with the conventional coating, the new coating improves heat resistance and hardness by further refining the crystal particles (Fig. 1). The new coating has a hardness of 3800 Hv and an oxidation resistance temperature of 1200 °C. Long life can be achieved in both dry and wet processing. Since the adhesion to the base material is higher, it is possible to achieve a more stable processing than the conventional coating.

The company has applied the new TH coating to two ball end mills and launched the "Epoch New TH Ball" series (Figure 2). Among them, "Epoch TH Hard Ball Strong" uses a ball shape with excellent rigidity and chip discharge. Supports the whole process from roughing to finishing of 40HRC or above, especially improving the efficiency of cutting processing above 55HRC. The "Epoch Super Hard Ball Evorution" is available in a variety of neck lengths and even supports small diameter deep milling. Especially suitable for deep milling of high hardness materials exceeding 60HRC.

Hard Ball Strong is available in 7 models with a diameter of 3.0 to 12.0mm. The Super Hard Ball Evorution is available in 58 models with a diameter of 0.1 to 2.0mm. Prices range from 13,500 to 3,300,400 yen (tax included) and 12,200 to 18,700 yen (tax included).
