Unveil the Revolutionary KENGold Coating: Elevating Turning Applications with Unmatched Edge Protection

KENGold boasts uniform layers engineered to combat abrasion, fortify thermal resistance, enhance edge durability, and facilitate effortless wear detection thanks to its distinctive gold flank.

Harnessing state-of-the-art pressing and honing techniques, Kennametal has achieved precise tolerance levels consistently with KENGold, seamlessly integrating this advanced coating onto the KCP25C grade. This grade proves incredibly adaptable across a spectrum of steel machining scenarios, delivering heightened toughness and resilience against abrasion and chipping.

When paired with optimized edge preparation features, KENGold-coated turning insert grades promise customers a marked improvement in tool longevity and reliability.

KENGold Coating Technology, as applied to the KCP25C Grade, offers:

• Shielding against flank wear
• Streamlined identification of worn or unused edges to minimize waste
• Enduring wear resistance and robust thermal shielding
• Enhanced output reliability and uniform tool longevity

A Detailed Look at KENGold Coating Technology reveals:

• The outermost layer, featuring a gold-colored TiN top layer, safeguards against flank wear and facilitates wear identification, bolstering abrasion resistance within the KCP25C grade.
• A black Al2O3 coating with a newly developed uniform nanostructure forms the second layer, serving as a robust thermal barrier and wear-resistant shield.
• The third layer acts as a transition, bonding the tough and wear-resistant layers seamlessly.
• The fourth layer boasts a highly uniform crystal structure in the medium-temperature TiCN coating layer, thwarting chipping while enhancing toughness and wear resistance.

KENGold coating technology is currently available in the next-generation KCP25C grade for steel turning applications. Future phases will see the expansion of this technology to encompass additional insert shapes and styles within the Screw-On and Kenloc ISO turning portfolio.
