KYOCERA Releases New MEGACOAT Cermets, Superfine Cermet Cutting Inserts
Improved wear-resistance, ideal for finishing
October 29, 2008

(This document was translated from the Japanese press release.) Kyocera Corporation (President: Makoto Kawamura) announced that its Cutting Tool Division will introduce two new cermet inserts that feature greater wear-resistance enabled by Kyocera's proprietary PVD coating system MEGACOAT: the PV7010 MEGACOAT Cermet for machining steel and the PV7005 MEGACOAT Cermet for machining cast iron; as well as the TN6010 Superfine Cermet, which is ideal for semi-finishing of steels. Cermet is a composite of ceramic and metal, used in cutting tools, which combines the superior heat-resistance of ceramic with the toughness of metal. Cermet has long been used for the finishing of steels, cast iron and other hard materials because of its superior wear- and heat-resistance, and its low affinity with work materials - attributes that ensure high-precision surface machining. Specializing in ceramic materials, Kyocera has continually held the leading market position in the cermet industry. Kyocera's new cermet inserts feature a unique coating, and the enhanced composition of the cermet surface ensures improved wear-resistance, greater stability in machining, and superior durability. With these features, the new products offer greater productivity in the finishing of hard metals.
