Coatings

Fullerton’s tools are available with a variety of standard and niche process specific
coatings. We have over 20 coatings available - listed below are some of our most
popular coatings.

Popular Coatings
Coating Recommended Usage Image
A good general purpose coating that is excellent for iron-based
materials and low and medium strength steels. It has excellent wear
TiN
resistance, thermal stability, and a low coefficient of friction that
improves thermal transfer of heat away from the cutting edge.
This coating has a higher hardness and is recommended for cast irons,
TiCN high silicon aluminum alloys, copper, and other abrasive
materials. Coolant must be applied to control temperature at the
cutting edge.
Excellent for high strength steels, hard die steels, high temperature
TiAIN alloys, and titanium alloys. Possible for dry machining, which
eliminates thermal shocks created by flood coolants.

Thin film CVD Diamond is ideal in graphite, green ceramic, carbon fiber
FC-1 reinforced plastics (CFRP), (HiSilicon) fiberglass, metal matrix
composites, and cast aluminum alloys. Possible dry machine
capabilities.

Advance wear with increased lubricity. Diamond Like Carbon (DLC)
FC-2 works well in machining of non-ferrous metals (especially aluminum
with <9% Si), composite material, and plastics.

FC-4 Improved chip flow and possible dry machining or MQL (Minimum
Quantity Lubricant) combines hardness with superior lubricant layers.

FC-5 Special purpose single layer coating reduces built-up edge when
machining aluminum and titanium alloys.

High Performance Coating for High Speed Machining of Cast Iron, Tool
FC-6 Steel, High-Nickel based Super Alloys, Titanium, Inconel, and Aerospace
Alloys. (AlTiN, 60% > Aluminum)

FC-7 Good, hot hardness and high oxidation resistance with outstanding
frictional properties. Ideal in deep hole application.

Terrific for levels of oxidation resistance and hot hardness.
FC-18 Exemplary wear resistance. Excellent in high-speed machining
parameters for milling, stainless steels, alloy steels, titanium, and
hardened steels.
Outstanding self-lubricating properties. Extremely smooth,
FC-19 droplet-free surfaces ensure “frictionless” chip removal. Ideal for
machining aluminum (silicon content <10%) and titanium alloys.

High hardness and elasticity, low friction, and high oxidation
FC-20 resistance. Excellent for stainless steel and nickel-based high
temperature alloys.
