Go for better, go for Gold
Walter takes an innovative leap with Tiger·tec Gold
Tübingen, 13th September 2016 – Having revolutionised the industry in the past with the
Tiger·tec and Tiger·tec Silver coatings, the machining specialists at Walter AG in Tübingen
are now making another technological advance. Walter is one of the world's first companies
to present a new technology platform: Tiger·tec Gold – with the WKP35G milling grade.
Compared with the CVD aluminium oxide-coated grades currently in use, the new Tiger·tec
Gold with a titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN) coating once again boasts significantly
improved properties – resulting in longer tool life, increased productivity and greater process
reliability. This is partially due to the innovative, special "ultra low" coating process (ULP-
CVD) that Walter has used to establish tomorrow's technology today.

The new TiAlN coating from Walter is their response to growing demands. The Walter
developers have been using Tiger·tec Gold for some time now in special applications – and
to great effect. They recorded markedly improved properties compared with other coatings:
Considerably higher wear resistance on the flank faces, reduced formation of hairline cracks
and greater resistance to plastic deformation. Numerous practical tests on steel and cast
iron materials demonstrated considerably longer tool life – often by up to 200 %. In
addition, the gold-coloured top layer also facilitates wear detection. Walter will be presenting
this new technology to the public for the very first time at the AMB in Stuttgart.
