A spirit of research, the urge to achieve, unconventional thinking and a deep breath - these are what earned, boehleritlmt fette india pvt ltd the 2006 nanotechnology research prize [nanoforschungspreis] from steiermark in austria . Lmt fette india pvt ltd achieved an astonishing innovation with a mixture of carbon and hydrogen elements in the titanium carbide layer in nanolock. Nanolock has obtained worldwide patents in fabricating a composite layer consisting of nano-crystalline ticn. The nano-structure provides previously unheard of material properties. The unbelievably fine needle-structure of the nanolock bonding layer provide`s heat protection while cutting. The figures relating to this new nano-crystalline layer are impressive. Cutting speeds of more than 300 m/min are achieved on steel materials with the steeltec lc215k turning steel type, at the same time an increase in tool life of up to 50% over conventional types available in the market can be achieved.
