Insert grades Insert grades A PVD / CVD coated carbide (Milling / Drilling) PVD coated carbide (MEGACOAT / MEGACOAT NANO) PVD coated carbide grades for milling and drilling are coated on a very tough carbide substrate. Because of the low processing temperature of PVD compared with CVD, it features less deterioration and more bending strength. CVD coated carbide CVD coated carbide grades provide stable, efficient machining at high speeds or for heavy interrupted applications. Ti-base (TiN, TiCN) coating with superior hardness and wear resistance or ceramic-base (Al2O3) coating with high-thermal stability is applied on a tough carbide substrate. Superior fracture resistance and wear resistance.
