When Duratomic was launched in 2007, it set a new standard for machining performance. Seco’s research team had spent years working on the ultimate coating- one that was tougher and, at the same time, more wear-resistant than conventional coatings.


With Duratomic insert coating technology, aluminum and oxygen are manipulated at the atomic level to result in a combination of material properties perfectly tailored to cutting specifi c materials. With Seco’s pioneering advances in nanoscience and engineering techniques, this unique approach provided the mechanical and thermal properties needed for truly optimal performance in all areas of metal cutting.


The Duratomic process yields superior results in two distinct ways. First, the brittleness of aluminum oxide varies tremendously depending on the atomic direction. By building the coating in a controlled environment, the best possible structure is imparted to the coating, ensuring a harder and tougher material.


Additionally, applying a coating at the atomic level allows for a much smoother surface fi nish. This reduces friction and heat during cutting applications, resulting in less edge build-up, better surface fi nish, reduced tool wear, increased tool life and the ability to apply higher cutting data.


Combined, these benefi ts provide a signifi cant improvement to the performance and productivity of turning applications, enabling manufacturers to realize substantial time and cost savings.


The evolution of Duratomic continues today. Seco’s R&D department works closely with internal applications teams and universities and manufacturers spanning the globe to research cutting tool materials. The knowledge obtained through these partnerships drives our development of the best possible solutions.
