COATED CARBIDE (CVD&PVD)

<CVD>
  • Special tough fibrous structure improves wear and fracture resistance.
  • Covers a wide application range and reduces the number of tools required.
<PVD>
  • PVD coating prolongs tool life when compared to cemented carbide under the same cutting conditions.
  • Coating of tools with sharp edges is possible without softening or changing the quality of the subsrate.
