2 Insert grades for

difficult-to-cut material High

toughness

substrate

Controls sudden fracture and realizes stable machining

Suitable for high efficiency machining

Smooth TiN layer Smooth & less adhesion improved stability

for martensitic stainless steel and Ni-base

Tough α-Al O layer

heat-resistant alloys2 3
Prevents oxidation and wear of coating
High heat resistance and wear resistance with CVD coatinglayer due to high heat-resistance of
aluminum oxide

Improved stability with thin layer coating technology Special interlayer M

Prevents peeling of coating layer CA6535 Ultra fine TiCN layer High aspect ratio and micro columnar

TiCN coating layer improves abrasive wear resistance

For Ni-base heat-resistant alloys, titanium alloys and

precipitation hardened stainless steel

Stable and longer tool life by special nano coating layer MEGACOAT base multi-layer MEGACOAT NANO structure
