I can buy that forces are greater in the gun, but material properties are measured with stresses which has a surface area quotient. Your peak forces on a tool are spread across square microns and they get much hotter. I think the gun is a lower intensity system. It's also nice to have a high surface hardness from these coatings over a tougher interior metal.https://imgur.com/gallery/mwmqEAo An end mill has impact events every time a flute takes a bite. A 3/8" four end mill will typically have a spindle speed of 2000rpm when cutting austenitic steels, if I understood a bit of background reading correctly (https://www.the-carbide-end-mill-store.com/Feeds-and-Speeds.html). That's 500 impacts per minute per tooth, each taking a bite 0.002" deep. The coated TiN end-mills are advertised as lasting about twice as long as the non-coated examples, which is approximately what the table above says too. (lifetime in the paper attached above is measured in parts completed, not minutes and seconds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yigal Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) gun is not work like mill cutter .and have different purpose than cutter. Edited December 2, 2019 by yigal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(lifetime in the paper attached above is measured in parts completed, not minutes and seconds) Actually it will have 2000 impacts per minute (each flute cuts every revolution) you divide the feed by the flutes to get the chip load per flute. 25 minutes ago, yigal said: gun is not work like mill cutter .and have different purpose than cutter. yes gun parts (ideally) should be floating on a film of oil and have very low surface loads, that's why blued guns last thousands and thousands of rounds, heck you can even get many 10"s of thousands of rounds on a aluminum framed gun.

cecil Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 my STI DVC's barrel has TIN coating on it... nary a scratch or evidence of any wear what so ever on the TIN coated barrel... seems pretty durable to me... who ever does STI's TIN coating knows what the heck they are doing....
