Turning Metal into Innovation Since 1938

As an industry leader in turning tools, Kennametal continuously pushes the boundaries of materials science and machining technology. Since our founding in 1938, we have revolutionized metal cutting, especially turning tools, with enhanced speed, durability and efficiency for the most challenging environments in manufacturing today.

Customer Success Stories

Turning the Manufacturing Industry on its Head

Across industries, our high-performance, precision turning tools are taking the power and productivity of shops like yours to the next level. Hear more about the powerhouse KCP25C steel turning grade, featuring our innovative KENGold coating—or as some like to call it, the insert “that doesn’t fail.”

ITD Engineering Boosts Productivity

A CNC manufacturer seeking improved machining performance reported significant wins after using Kennametal’s KCP25C grade for turning. They increased production from 200 to 300 parts per edge, ran faster and harder, achieved effective chip breaking and found the inserts to be more cost effective. They even experienced twice the tool life compared to their previous solution by using this insert that “doesn’t fail, it wears.”

Horn Equipment Improves Cycle Times

An equipment company serving the oil and gas industry seeking improved cycle times found success with Kennametal’s CNMG insert and KCP25C turning grades. Previously, facing operations required machining for approximately 2.5 minutes on the front side and 1.5 minutes on the backside, but with CNMG and KCP25C they reduced cycle times to just 15 seconds per pass.

The KENGold Effect

Advanced coating technologies are critical for manufacturing, driving significant improvements in tool performance, durability and efficiency. Our introduction of the multilayer KENGold coating in both Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) meets the demands of next generation technologies.

  • Designed to resist wear, extending tool life and performance
  • Strong thermal barrier helps maintain tool integrity under high-temperature conditions
  • Improves toughness of the tool edges, making them more durable and reliable
  • Gold color outer layer allows for easy detection of wear, helping users identify when a tool needs to be changed
  • PVD coatings form a thin coating via a physical vapor process
  • CVD coatings form a thick coating via a chemical reaction
