ALOX® SN²
ALOX® SN² is an ultra-modern supernitride, designed specifically for cutters used in the machining of steel, cast-iron and high-strength alloy.
It's remarkably high wear volume offers extraordinary adhesion, even with very thick coatings, making it an ideal choice for solid carbide cutting tools and indexable cutting inserts.
