Kyocera Precision Tools has expanded the popular CA025P CVD-coated carbide series for steel turning to include all new positive insert styles. The next-generation CA025P series features multilayer CVD coatings with a layer using a thick film of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) for excellent heat resistance.

Utilizing 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 wide variety of chipbreakers. Kyocera aims to support customers by reducing the frequency of insert replacements and improving production yield.
