Cermet
KYOCERA is known as the leading manufacturer of cermets.
Cermet is a composite material combining Ceramic and Metal. Typical materials used
in cermets are TiC, TiN, TiCN and NbC. Designed to provide long tool life and excellent
surface finishes, cermets combine toughness with superior wear resistance.
PVD Coated Cermet

PVD Coated Cermet is coated on cermet substrate with a thin layer of high wear
resistance and high adhesion resistance by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)
technology. Generally because of the low processing temperature of PVD compared
with CVD, PVD Coated Cermet features less deterioration and more bending strength.

Insert Grades
Ceramics inserts are capable of running at high speeds, thus reducing expensive
machining time. Hard turning of 38HRC to 64HRC hardened steel, or rough to finished
turning of cast iron are recommended applications for ceramic inserts.
KYOCERAs ceramic grades are designed to resist oxidation and maintain
hardness at elevated temperatures.
Features
Excellent wear resistance enables high cutting speeds
Ceramic maintains good surface finishes due to the low affinity to workpiece
materials
Silicon nitride ceramic has improved thermal shock resistance allowing cast iron
