Increased wear resistance, welding resistance, and chipping resistance

Application and Features

Recommended Cutting

• Wear resistance • Welding resistance • Chipping resistance

• General grade for all kinds of steel (carbon steel, alloy steel, rolled steel, tool steel, mild steel, bearing steel, etc.)in both continuous and interrupted machining

• Longer tool life in high speed machining due to improved wear resistance and plastic deformation resistance

• Improved coating layer with superior adhesion improves chipping resistance and stability of machining

• Fine finished coating surface provides welding resistance, superior lubrication, and lower cutting load

Special Features


1) PVD coating technique has inherent advantage such as superior chipping resistance of coated film itselfand maintains the toughness of carbide substrate. Thus it is possible to increase the tool life approximately2~4 times longer than carbide cutting tools.

2) PVD coating can make sharp cutting edge without blunting of sharp substrate.3) Ti-base coating film can provide excellent surface finish and high accuracy machining due to the lowaffinity of Ti film and work piece.
