The technology: unique worldwide

Since the introduction of the globally unique CVD coating technology, Tiger▪tec®Silver has been determining the direction in which machining is heading, with increases in performance of up to 100 %.

The key benefits of the new technology are as follows for turning, milling and drilling:

• Enormous toughness due to optimum residual stress
• Reduction in machining time through the use of aluminium oxide with optimised microstructure
• Greatly reduced tribochemical wear thanks to perfect, smooth cutting surfaces

• Not susceptible to thermal stress variations during wet and dry machining

Tiger▪tec® Silver – machining was yesterday,
today is all about Tiger.

Turning:

• Aluminium oxide with optimised microstructure offers a 50 % longer tool life under conditions of crater wear and also reduced machining times
• Mechanical post-treatment - unique residual stress rate, increased process reliability
• Large, universal chip breaking area and longer tool life for ISO P geometries
• Ground seating surface after coating for improved process reliability when working with interrupted cuts
• Silver flank face indicator layer for extremely easy wear detection
• Microedge technology offers a 30 % longer tool life under conditions of flank face wear or plastic deformation

• Extremely smooth rake face for excellent tribochemical wear resistance

Milling:

• Mechanical post-treatment, unique residual stress rate, increased process reliability
• Extremely smooth rake face for excellent tribochemical wear resistance

• Silver flank face indicator layer for extremely easy wear detection

Drilling:

• Outer indexable insert with increased wear resistance thanks to unique aluminium oxide layer, ideal for use as a peripheral cutting edge
• Tougher than previous Tiger▪tec® CVD coatings. Optimised residual strength and a combination of toughness and wear resistance make this the first choice for a centre insert

• Low wear due to extremely smooth rake face.
