TiN/TiCN/TiAlN Coating
What’s TiN/TiCN/TiAlN Coating?
TiN (Titanium Nitride), TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride), and TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) are hard, thin-film coatings applied through PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) processes to enhance the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and lifespan of metal parts—especially cutting tools, molds, and precision components.
-
TiN coating is golden in color and provides excellent wear resistance and chemical stability.
-
TiCN coating includes carbon, resulting in higher hardness and lower friction than TiN, ideal for harder machining applications.
-
TiAlN coating offers superior thermal stability and oxidation resistance, making it excellent for high-speed and dry machining.
These coatings reduce friction, extend tool life, and allow components to operate under more aggressive conditions.

Visit our FAQ center for more questions.
What applications are TiN/TiCN/TiAlN coatings commonly used for?
These coatings are widely used on cutting tools, injection molds, forming dies, wear parts, and components that require increased surface hardness and reduced friction.
How do TiN, TiCN, and TiAlN differ in performance?
- TiN: Good general-purpose coating with wear resistance and low cost
- TiCN: Harder and more wear-resistant than TiN, suitable for cutting harder materials
- TiAlN: Best for high-temperature environments and dry machining due to high thermal stability
How thick are these coatings?
Typical coating thickness ranges from 2 to 5 microns, depending on the application and material being coated.
