substrate

  • Suppresses abnormal damage such as chipping and adhesion.
  • Optimised coating composition according to application. Achieves

Stable machining is achieved in various situations. stable machining regardless of the work material.

  • Next-level high strength and high hardness coating is achieved.
  • Significantly improves chipping resistance by improving coating adhesion strength.

Achieves long, stable tool life even in high-efficiency machining. Stable machining is realised even under high load conditions.
