The KCU10B turning grade updates its KCU10 platform with an enhanced KENGold coating technology for edge protection. The universal cutting solution is designed for machinists in defense, aerospace, automotive, energy, and general engineering markets requiring maximum output when cutting difficult-to-machine materials.
This new turning solution excels in finishing applications and is designed with Kennametal’s multilayer, nanostructure PVD coating technology, supporting machining with higher quality, consistent power on more materials, and a longer tool life.
The newly engineered KENGold PVD is a multilayer coating making machining from one material to another easy while also achieving consistency in cutting. The nano-composite coating has an enhanced coating adhesion delivering better flank and chipping resistance.
KCU10B joins the Kennametal’s KENGold portfolio for consistency in multi-material cutting, improved wear resistance, and enhanced process security.
