ISTéAl

Revolutionary ? We tell you everything!

ISTéAl is the only PVD coating on the market that combines exceptional hardness, extremely low friction coefficient and very high heat resistance. It is the perfect combination to improve the performance and life of your tools.

It was developed exclusively by ARCTEC to meet a recurring customer demand in the field of machining: no longer changing tools to do both roughing and finishing! Not only will you avoid machine downtime, but also duplicate purchases of expensive tools!

For what benefits?

Reduction of friction : Thanks to its very low coefficient of friction, ISTéAl promotes sliding and eliminates material sticking.

Hot Holding: Ideal for high speed machining, achieving high productivity levels without compromising quality.

Unparalleled hardness : Offers exceptional resistance to abrasive wear, guaranteeing an excellent surface condition of machined parts.

Versatility : Suitable for a wide range of materials and applications, including stamping and molding of glass-filled materials.

The + ARCTEC : The filtered and pulsed arc technology developed by ARCTEC ensures uniform application, improving the precision and reliability of machining operations.
