PowerA Coating

Consider Power A coatings to run more aggressive speeds and feeds!

PowerA is Mastercut Tool Corp’s new proprietary coating that surpasses the proven performance of TiAlN for superior extreme machining results. With a thermal stability above 1,600°F (900°C) this coating excels in high speed dry machining applications. Harder than our original TiAlN by 1000 HV, with an increase in thermal stability of 200°F (100°C), PowerA will ensure that heat buildup, friction, and edge breakdown are all greatly reduced, resulting in better cutting performance and longer tool life. As with it’s predecessor, PowerA will be an excellent coating for applications involving tough-to-cut tool steels, stainless, cast iron and non-ferrous material, and it can also be used very effectively for interrupted cuts. PowerA can be run at more aggressive speeds and feeds than other coatings, and can be run without coolant in specific applications. PowerA continues to be the coating of choice for tough-to-cut materials.
Hardness: 3800 HV
Coating Thickness: 2-4 Microns
Thermal Stability: 1,650°F or 900°C

PowerT Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating

PowerT Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating is bright gold in color, has an ambient temperature hardness in the 2800 Vickers (low 80Rc) range, a coefficient of friction under 0.5, and a thermal stability up to about 1000°F. TiN meets FDA requirements for surgical tools and food applications. Cutting speeds, feeds, wear resistance and tool life generally improve.

PowerZ Zirconium Based (ZrN) Coating

.PowerZ Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) Coating has proven itself over the years in many industries. ZrN’s characteristics have made it suitable for applications where TiN has not performed well. It has excellent erosion resistance, good lubricity and ductility combined with an attractive appearance to make it stand out from the all the rest. This coating has worked well in all non-ferrous applications. Recommended Applications: Aluminum, Brass, Cast Iron, Graphite, Ni Alloys, Ti Alloys, 300/PH Series Stainless Zinc, Glass-filled Plastics (Not recommended for carbon steels). Coating Characteristics: Thickness (2-5 microns), Hardness (2800 Vickers), Thermal 1,049°F (550°C),
Lubricity (0.5 coefficient of friction).

Power DLC (diamond like coating) offers the
highest hardness, the smoothest surface, and a very low coefficient of friction. This specialty coating is used primarily for cutting tools used in composite materials with an affinity for sticking. It gives the closest performance to real diamond coatings, but in a thin layer form.
