Ask a Pro : The Art of Performance: KN Carbide
The Art of Performance: KN Carbide
In precision micromechanics, every micron and every second matter. Today, @André Lucas Lambert shares some thoughts on one of our most versatile materials.
The pursuit of balance:
This new carbide has been developed with innovative technologies that allow us to gain toughness compared to a K10-type carbide, while still maintaining the characteristic hardness and strength of K10.
Expert insight, @André Lucas Lambert:
“What I appreciate about KN carbide? It’s precisely its versatility and effectiveness on a wide range of materials, even the most demanding. With the latest-generation coatings, it provides an ideal combination. If I were a screw-machine operator working with multiple materials, it’s clearly the solution I would choose.”
Real-world results:
Our partners notice longer tool life, fewer interruptions, and stable, precise cutting. It’s this combination of durability and performance that keeps production smooth.
