CC AluSpeed®
The light grey cutting tool coating material, CC AluSpeed, was especially developed for high-performance machining of aluminum and aluminum alloys.
With its low affinity to aluminum, AluSpeed prevents the formation of built-up edges to a particularly large extent. The extremely smooth surface reduces friction on the face and makes machining easier.
Accurately constructed, the high degree of hardness also guarantees excellent wear protection.
