KCU25B - Universal Turning Grade with KENGold™ PVD Coating Technology

Precision and Power in Every Cut

KCU25B upgrades Kennametal’s existing KCU25 with a newly engineered KENGold™ PVD, multilayer coating that makes machining from one material to another easy while also achieving consistency in cutting. The nano-composite coating has an enhanced coating adhesion that delivers better flank and chipping resistance. Upgrade your multi-material projects and beat deadlines when working on steels, stainless steels, cast iron, high-temp alloys and non-ferrous materials.

KCU25B is available for a variety of insert styles and applications.

• A2: Cut-off

• A4:  Grooving, Turning & Cut-off

• K-Lock: R-style

• Fix-Perfect: C-style, D-style, E-style

• Beyond Evolution: Grooving, Turning & Cut-off

• Kenloc: C-style, D-style, S-style, T-style, V-style, W-style

• Top Notch: D-style, V-style, K-style

• Screw-on: C-style, D-style, R-style, S-style, T-style, V-style, W-style

A Closer Look at KENGold PVD Coating Technology

This multilayer coating technology is comprised of three layers, each with unique protection properties:

• The TiSiN top layer is gold for easy wear identification.

• The AITiSiN second layer is a super-hard nanostructured interlayer for superior wear resistance.

• The AITiN third layer is a low-stress base layer for excellent flaking resistance.

• Multilayer coating applied to cemented carbide delivering greater thermal deformation resistance and exceptional edge wear resistance.
