Coated Carbide Coating Series

Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal's Coating Series are high-quality, high-performance indexable grades that combines a proprietary, special ultra-hard carbide substrate with a multi-layered coating that provides excellent wear and heat resistance plus superior adhesion strength. Utilised in high-speed, high-efficiency applications on a wide range of work material including, steel, cast iron, and exotic alloys.
