Inveio - Uni-directional Crystal Orientation (Grades GC4305, GC4315, GC4325). Inveio™ is the technological breakthrough of uni-directional crystal orientation in the alumina coating layer that gives inserts a new level of wear resistance and tool life. The tightly packed uni-directional crystals create a strong barrier toward the cutting zone and chip. This greatly improves crater wear and flank wear resistance. Another effect is that heat is more rapidly lead away from the cutting zone, helping the cutting edge stay in shape for longer times in cut.
Predictability and Long tool Life. Inveio™ has the greatest single effect on the insert strength, wear resistance, and tool duration. The effect of the Inveio coating is combined with all other elements of the insert: the substrate, the shape of the cutting edge, and the post-treatment process. Together, this results in long and predictable tool life.
