THE KENGold EFFECT Advanced coating technologies are critical for manufacturing, driving significant improvements in tool performance, durability and efficiency. Kennametal’s introduction of the multilayer KENGold coating in both Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) meets the demands of next generation technologies. A CLOSER LOOK AT KENGold CVD AND PVD • Designed to resist wear, extending tool life and performance • Strong thermal barrier helps maintain tool integrity under high-temperature conditions • Improves toughness of the tool edges, making them more durable and reliable • Gold color outer layer allows for easy detection of wear, helping users identify when a tool needs to be changed • PVD coatings form a thin coating via a physical vapor process • CVD coatings form a thick coating via a chemical reaction 4
