Cermet

KYOCERA is known as one of the leading manufacturer of cermets. Cermets combine

toughness with superior wear resistance, and provide longer tool life and excellent surface

finishes. Typical materials used in cermets are TiC, TiN, TiCN and NbC.

PVD coated cermet (MEGACOAT / MEGACOAT NANO Cermet)

PVD coated cermet is coated on cermet substrate with a thin layer of high wear resistance and

high adhesion resistance by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology. Generally because of

the low processing temperature of PVD compared with CVD, PVD coated cermet features less

deterioration and more bending strength.
