DLC coated carbide inserts
High quality and long tool life – developed for machining aluminium.
Introduction
Kyocera inserts for aluminium are available with DLC coating, which is increasing tool life and process safety. The range of inserts, PDL010/PDL025, features an extremely hard coating, close to that of a diamond. The coating is named DLC, an abbreviation for "Diamond-Like Carbon".
The hard DLC coating is excellent for machining many types of aluminium. It increases tool life, and provide a better, and even more controlled wear process, while being resistant to edge build-up. This results in an excellent surface finish and high process safety. Large line-up for turning, cut-off, and milling operations.
