Dplus delivers unmatched tool life in non-ferrous applications. Featuring a tetrahedral amorphous carbon (taC) bond structure, this coating offers an extremely low coefficient of friction and exceptionally high hardness, allowing it to resist abrasion while maintaining a sharp cutting edge.

To optimize your CNC machining results and maximize both your part finish and tool life, opt for one of Helical Solution's premier coatings: Zplus, Aplus, Tplus, and Dplus. Each coating is optimized for a specific material group, and is designed specifically to provide superior tool hardness and strength, and aid in the chip evacuation process by increasing lubricity within flute valleys.

Tplus is an ideal choice for increased wear resistance and longer tool life in rigid, vibration-free machine setups. Tplus excels in a wide variety of ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials including inconel, stainless steel and high hardness materials up to 65 Rc.

Zplus provides higher hardness, lubricity, and abrasion resistance. Specifically engineered for aluminum applications, it is also optimal for other non-ferrous materials. Holds up well in abrasive materials and reduces the chance of built-up-edge in softer, gummy alloys.
