The silvery gray Titanium Carbo-Nitride (TiCN) is a slightly harder coating than TiN but it has somewhat lower oxidation resistance.
Depending on the work material, in some applications it was observed to have a lower coefficient of friction, which, in turn, enabled the deployment of higher cutting speeds.
