Kyocera Precision Tools introduces a CVD-coated cermet grade for production in a wide range of finishing applications. The CCX Grade is a new technology composed of a unique, high-strength cermet insert with a thick layer of CVD coating.
The CVD coating on the CCX line provides superior wear resistance to increase tool life. The high-speed finishing capability of the CCX inserts is a huge advantage for highly efficient machining in low-carbon steel, general steel and cast-iron applications.
