PVD Coated Cermet is coated on cermet substrate with a thin layer of high wear resistance and high adhesion
resistance by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology. Generally because of the low processing temperature
of PVD compared with CVD, PVD Coated Cermet features less deterioration and more bending strength.

Special Surface-Hardened“ Hybrid Structure”
Excellent fracture resistance with the surface-hardened layer using the gradient composition technology.
Good balance of stable wear resistance and fracture resistance by continuously-varied hardness.
TN620's inner structure has high toughness and
chipping resistance as well as thermal shock
resistance. And surface area has higher hardness
and wear resistance compared to the conventional
