PVD coated carbide (Turning)

PVD coated carbide (MEGACOAT / MEGACOAT NANO)

Using a physical vapor deposition coating technology, generally because of the low

processing temperature of PVD compared with CVD, PVD coated carbide features less

deterioration and more bending strength. PVD coated carbide grades are coated on a

very tough carbide substrate and suitable for turning.

PVD coated super micro-grain carbide

  • Smooth fine surface of PVD coated carbide provides good surface finish and high

precision machining

  • Stable machining with excellent toughness
