For more than 70 years, Kennametal has been recognized as the leader in delivering advanced material solutions. We have a long history of developing superior coatings — more than 2,500 proprietary material grades. Kennametal has set the global standard for material and coating combinations that are as efficient as they are environmentally responsible. The rigorous conditions encountered in synthesizing and depositing Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) and Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitrides (PCBN) require specialized materials and knowledge. With more than 1,100 highly trained research...

Railroad » ADVANCED MATERIALS » 06-07 KENNAMETAL TUNGSTEN WEAR PROBLEMS Ideal for countless railroad applications, Kennametal tungsten carbides possess unique engineering properties that often outlast tool steel and other wear materials by as much as 10:1. They are used for parts that must withstand deflection, deformation, extreme wear, impact, corrosion, heavy loading, Because we process our own powders from well-known and trusted raw material sources, Kennametal tungsten carbides ensure the highest quality — from start to finish. Our submicron grades have a fine grain and uniform...
