In-Depth Look at KENGold™ PVD Coating Technology
This advanced multi-layer coating technology consists of three distinct layers, each with unique protective properties:
- Top layer (TiSiN): Gold-colored for easy wear detection.
- Second layer (AlTiSiN): Super-hard nanostructured intermediate layer providing exceptional wear resistance.
- Third layer (AlTiN): Low-stress base layer for excellent delamination resistance.
The multi-layer coating applied to carbide inserts enhances thermal deformation resistance and delivers outstanding cutting edge wear protection.
