Mtec is one of the innovative METAPLAS Machining series of coatings. It stands out for its improved high-performance cutting (HPC) characteristics. Mtecs optimized and extremely closed morphology makes it particularly suitable for machining of otherwise poorly machinable materials. The structure of the coating layer can be adjusted, with the same target composition, within a broad range of parameters from finely columnar to nanocrystalline, and can thus be optimally matched to customer requirements. The APA (Advanced Plasma-Assisted) evaporator technology of METAPLAS-DOMINO achieves extremely high ionization of the vaporized material and a high plasma density. The METAPLAS-Machining series layers therefore exhibit, in addition to other important characteristics, high hardness, high thermal stability and high resistance to oxidation. Mtec also offers ideal bond-layer properties. Mtec is particularly suitable, and exhibits excellent chip formation of: Heat-treated steels Austenitic steels The most diverse range of high-temperature alloys, titanium, -TiAl- and nickel-based alloys More information...
