The series incorporates the newest generation of PcBN-grade formulations and incorporates the latest advances in synthesis research, the company says. Each grade is individually matched with high-performance coatings based on the HiPIMS PVD coating technology. The combination of PcBN grade, coating and manufacturing technique is said to provide a balance between chemical resistance and toughness, thus increasing the utility range of the insert.
