TiN (Titanium Carbo-Nitride) PVD Coating
Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is one of the most well-known physical vapor deposition (PVD) choices and has been a mainstay of product finishing for decades. Customers like TiN because of its good mechanical properties and lustrous gold color. Download the Plattit specifications

The combination of a non-metallic element (Nitrogen) with a transition metal element (Titanium) forms a refractory (resistant to alteration) material. The material exhibits many attributes associated with refractory nitride materials.
These attributes include:
- High hardness
- Chemical stability
- Good electrical conductivity
- Good thermal conductivity
- Thermal stability
- Oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures.
Universal Coating:
• for machining
• for chipless forming
• injection molding
• for tribological applications (machine components
- Available with 1, 2, 3, 4 cathodes: Multi cathodes processes generate a coating
with nanolayer structure
- Available as ARC and as sputtered coating. The rougness of the sputtered coating is lower. The density of the ARC coating is higher.
