Before CNC controllers calculated Coating Selector automatically, machinists used cardboard slide calculators — Widia famously distributed tens of thousands of these in the 1970s. Every tooling rep had a pocket full of them. The math was the same, but the constraints were wildly different: HSS tooling maxed out at 30-40 SFM in steel, and feed rates were limited by machine rigidity, not coating technology.
The Sandvik Coromant coating revolution in the 1980s — TiN first, then TiCN, TiAlN, and eventually AlCrN — changed everything. Suddenly, Coating Selector could be pushed 200-300% higher without sacrificing tool life. Kyocera's introduction of submicron carbide substrates in the 1990s further expanded the window: finer grain structures meant harder tools that could still absorb the shock of intermittent cuts.
In 2026, Sandvik Coromant and Kyocera both offer cloud-based Coating Selector optimization via their NOVO and ToolGuide platforms. Widia's CoroPlus system integrates directly with Matsuura and Haas CNCs for real-time adaptive control. The slide calculator has been replaced by AI-assisted CAM, but the core principle remains: the right number = the right cut.
Coatings transform the performance of carbide cutting tools. The right coating can double tool life, enable higher speeds, and improve surface finish. This guide covers the most common PVD and CVD coatings with their ideal applications.
The naming convention varies by manufacturer. AlTiN typically has higher aluminium content (over 50% Al) for maximum hot hardness. TiAlN has lower aluminium (30-40%) with better toughness. In practice, both are premium high-temperature coatings for steel and stainless. Balinit (Oerlikon) uses AlCrN for their latest generation -- the chromium addition further improves oxidation resistance.
Uncoated carbide with a sharp, polished edge is best for non-ferrous materials (aluminium, brass, copper) where built-up edge is the main wear mechanism rather than abrasion or heat. Coatings slightly dull the cutting edge. For high-silicon aluminium (over 12% Si), switch to diamond-coated or PCD -- the silicon is abrasive enough to wear uncoated carbide quickly.
Generally no. Re-coating requires stripping the old coating (chemical or mechanical), which damages the carbide surface and changes edge geometry. Re-coated tools rarely match original performance. Some regrinding services offer re-coating for expensive tools (gear hobs, broaches), but for standard inserts, it is almost always better to buy new.
Select your workpiece material and cutting conditions. Use TiN for general-purpose steel work, AlTiN/TiAlN for high-speed and dry machining of steels, diamond coatings for non-ferrous and abrasive materials, and CrN for copper and titanium. When in doubt, AlTiN is the safest modern choice for most ferrous machining.
