SUBLIME – The coating that redefines service life in gear manufacturing

The SUBLIME tool coating was developed for the special requirements in gear manufacturing. Especially when cutting internal and external gears in steel workpieces, long cutting paths and high cutting speeds are required. The SUBLIME® layer considerably reduces the wear of your gear cutting tools. 

Up to 130% longer service life in the gear teeth

In tests with commercially available hobs, the new, innovative SUBLIME coating was compared with other coatings. The results show increases in tool life of up to 130%.

Coating thickness	3,0 ± 1,0 µm
Maximum operating temperature	1.100 °C / 2.012 °F
Friction coeff. against steel	0,7 – 0,8
Rauheit	<0,07 µm
Colour	Grey

Tools used in machining and gear cutting are exposed to particularly high temperatures. Whether due to dry machining, high cutting speeds or steels to be machined that themselves have low thermal conductivity, such as titanium or nickel-based alloys – the coating must protect the tools. With SUBLIME we offer a solution that withstands even the most demanding conditions.

 

COATING ADVANTAGES

• Outstanding results in the machining of titanium, stainless steel and nickel-based alloys
• Considerable red hardness and oxidation resistance
• Excellent results for dry gear cutting, e.g. on gear hobbing machines
 

APPLICATIONS

• Machining – dry and wet machining
• Gear cutting – dry and wet machining
