TiHN is a titanium-based hard coating, likely a titanium nitride or titanium-containing nitride compound deposited as a thin film. It belongs to the family of transition metal nitride coatings, which combine the hardness and wear resistance of ceramic nitrides with the toughness benefits of a titanium base. This material is used primarily in cutting tools, forming dies, and wear-resistant components where surface hardness and thermal stability are critical, offering superior performance compared to uncoated steel or simpler single-element coatings by providing both extended tool life and improved thermal resistance at elevated operating temperatures.
