There is a growing demand for long-lasting inserts with excellent resistance against wear, fracturing and chipping capable of stable machining performance over a wide range of cutting conditions.
Kyocera’s new industrial cutting tool series features multilayer CVD coatings with a layer using a thick film of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) for excellent heat resistance. Utilising cemented carbide as a base material ensures excellent fracture resistance, long-term performance, and longer tool life. These new cutting tools can accommodate a wide range of machining applications, from roughing to finishing, by using a variety of chipbreakers.
With this introduction, Kyocera aims to support customers by reducing the frequency of insert replacement, while also improving production yield.
