COATED CARBIDE(CVD&PVD)

CVD
  • Special tough fibrous structure improves wear and fracture resistance.
  • It covers a wide application range and thus reduces the number of tools required.
PVD
  • PVD coating prolongs tool life.
  • Coating of tools with sharp edges is possible without softening or changing the quality of the substrate.
