KCK20
A new PVD multilayer AlTiN + AlCrN coated carbide with an excellent combination of wear resistance and coating strength. The KCK20 grade is specifically engineered to maximize coating adhesion and edge strength, making this grade ideal in wet interrupted cutting of gray and ductile irons, and can also be used in dry conditions. It can be used in a wide range of applications, from finishing to roughing, to maximize productivity wherever strength and reliability are needed.

KCK20B
Composition: A multilayered coating with thick MTCVD TiCN-Al2O3-TiOCN layers applied over a carbide substrate specifically engineered for cast irons.
Application: Delivers consistent performance in high-speed machining of grey and ductile irons. The substrate design permits the insert to stay in the cut for a long time at high speeds with minimum deformation. The thick CVD coating and post-coat treatment provide superior wear resistance ensuring long and consistent tool life. Can be applied both in straight and lightly interrupted cuts.P SteelK Cast Iron -
KCM15
Composition: Nanostructured PVD TiAlN coated fine-grain carbide with a golden TiN top layer for better wear identification and superior surface finish.
Application: A state-of-the-art surface condition enhances low adhesion potential to stainless steel materials and offers superior chip evacuation even in low-pressure coolant applications. Applicable for stainless steel and high-temperature resistant materials.P SteelS High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel -
KCM25
Composition: A multilayer CVD coating comprised of TiN-MT-TiCN-Al2O3 layers over a tough, cobalt-enriched carbide substrate.
Application: This CVD-coated grade is designed for general-purpose machining of austenitic stainless steels at moderate speeds and feeds. KCM25 inserts offer an extraordinary combination of toughness, built-up edge resistance, and wear resistance in stainless steel applications.P SteelS High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel -
KCM25B
Composition: A multilayer MTCVD-TiCN-Al2O3-TiOCN coated carbide grade.
Application: An excellent finishing to medium machining grade for austenitic stainless steels at higher speeds and covers a broad range of steel applications in the P20-25 range. KCM15 grade in combination with unique geometries have been designed to resist depth-of-cut notching and minimize burr formation. The post-coat treatment reduces coating stresses, improves coating adhesion, minimizes microchipping and edge build-up, and improves workpiece finish.

KCP10
Composition: A specially engineered cobalt-enriched carbide grade with thick MTCVD-TiCN-Al2O3 coating for maximum wear resistance.
Application: An excellent finishing to medium machining grade for a variety of workpiece materials, including most steels, ferritic, martensitic, and PH stainless steels, and cast irons. The cobalt-enriched substrate offers a balanced combination of deformation resistance and edge toughness, while the thick coating layers offer outstanding abrasion resistance and crater wear resistance for high-speed machining. Smooth coating provides resistance to edge build-up and microchipping and produces excellent surface finishes.P SteelK Cast Iron -
KCP25
Composition: A tough cobalt-enriched carbide grade with a newly designed multilayer MTCVD-TiCN-Al2O3 coating with superior interlayer adhesion.
Application: Best general-purpose turning grade for most steels and ferritic and martensitic stainless steels. The substrate design ensures adequate deformation resistance with excellent insert edge strength. Coating layers offer good wear resistance over a wide range of machining conditions and the post-coat treatment minimises microchipping and improves coating adhesion to substrate leading to long tool life and improved workpiece finishes.P SteelK Cast Iron -
KCS10
Composition: An advanced PVD-AlTiN coated, fine-grained tungsten carbide grade.
Application: The KCS10 grade specifically engineered for the productive machining of high-temperature alloys. The fine-grained tungsten carbide substrate has excellent toughness and deformation resistance while the advanced PVD coating allows metalcutting speeds double those of conventional PVD-coated cutting tools.S High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel -
KCS10B
Composition: PVD-AlTiN coating with a very smooth coating surface and extremely hard, wear-resistant ultra fine-grain carbide substrate.
Application: The KCS10B™ grade is ideal for medium machining and finishing operations of Nickel-Based, Cobalt-Based, and Iron-Based High-Temperature Alloys. The extremely hard, wear-resistant carbide substrate allows for longer tool life while the ultra fine-grain carbide substrate and smoother coating reduces friction.S High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel
