Cobalt steel is a type of high-speed alloy steel used primarily for cutting tools. Introduced to manufacturers in 1900, high-speed steel, containing a mixture of tungsten, chromium, and trace amounts of carbon, enabled manufacturers to double or even triple their production.
Titanium Carbo-Nitride (TiCN) has the highest lubricitiy of all the TiN coatings - making it an excellent choice as a dry film lubricant where improved hardness and wear resistance beyond standard Calico TiN is needed. TiCN is normally applied to steels, hardened steel, and stainless steel materials. TiCN is an excellent coating when working against bronze, brass and plastic, therefore, it a good choice for stamping, punching, and forming. Can be stripped and recoated.
