PVD / CVD Coated Carbide (Milling / Drilling)
PVD Coated Carbide(MEGACOAT / MEGACOAT NANO)
Insert Grades 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
