Extremely high cutting speed, extremely low wear – with the
new TERAspeed coating for inserts LMT is setting new speed
and tool life records when milling cast iron. This is made possible
by a revolution in coating technology: LMT TERAspeed is the
world‘s first cubic AlTiN coating with an aluminum content above
90 %, which is deposited via a CVD process.
TERAspeed combines the key advantages of PVD and CVD
coating systems: The new coating is tough and thermally more
stable than a PVD AlTiN coating and has the high adhesion
known from the CVD process. Users will benefit equally from
high cutting speeds as well as guaranteed process stability –
especially in applications with frequently interrupted cutting
processes
