KENGold™ PVD is a multilayer coating TIT AN TESTED . technology featuring uniform layers that I TA resist abrasion, provide a strong thermal D. N A PPROVE T barrier, improve edge toughness and allows for easy detection of wear due to its gold flank. When applied to the KCU10B turning insert grade, in combination with improved tool life for operations on steels and stainless steels, customers experience versatility and consistency in tool life. This multilayer nano composite coating technology is comprised of three layers, each with unique protection properties: • The top layer made of TiSiN is gold for easy wear identification. • The second layer made of AITiSiN is a super-hard nanostructured interlayer for superior wear resistance. • The third layer made of AITiN is a low-stress base layer for excellent flaking resistance. • Multilayer coating applied to cemented carbide delivering greater thermal deformation resistance and exceptional edge wear resistance.
