E-Z Burr Offers TiAlN and ZrN Coatings for Carbide Inserts New Coatings Available for Special Applications and Materials

For Immediate Release, March 5, 2008 – E-Z Burr Tool Company is proud to announce the addition of two new coatings, TiAln and ZrN, for their Carbide Series deburring inserts. E-Z Burr Tool Company has long been aware of the advantages of TiAlN coating when machining difficult materials, and through extensive field-testing, research, and customer feedback, E-Z Burr has decided to now offer these two coating options for tough to machine applications.

“During recent extensive testing on an inconel component for a major aerospace customer, we found that the TiAlN coating was a big improvement over TiN due to the higher temperatures that are generated on this type of application." says Bill Robinson, owner of E-Z Burr Tool Company.

These carbide insert coatings are handled as special requests and will not be added to the catalog at this time. The TiAlN coating is for Stainless Steel, Inconel, and other high-nickel based alloys, whereas the ZrN coating is for machining Titanium or aircraft grade Titanium composites. It also works very well on aluminum, copper, brass, and cast iron.
