📌Why Choose Kennametal?

Best For: Aerospace & Energy Manufacturers processing difficult alloys (Titanium/Inconel), and Mining/Infrastructure Contractors requiring extreme wear resistance for heavy equipment.

  • Vibration-Free Machining: In the metalworking sector, their HARVI™ solid carbide end mills use proprietary unequal flute spacing to disrupt harmonic vibration. For aerospace and energy shops, this solves the critical issue of “chatter” when machining titanium or stainless steel, allowing for maximum metal removal rates and significantly longer tool life.
  • Extreme Wear Mastery: Kennametal is arguably the world leader in wear solutions. Their Stellite™ (cobalt-based alloys) and KenCast™ (composite carbide) materials are engineered to withstand extreme abrasion and corrosion. For mining and oil & gas clients, applying these materials to critical equipment parts prevents premature failure, drastically reducing maintenance downtime in harsh environments.
  • Digital Efficiency Ecosystem: They go beyond selling tools by offering NOVO™, a digital suite that integrates with CAM software to recommend optimal machining strategies, and ToolBOSS™, smart vending machines for automated inventory control. This ecosystem helps large factories eliminate guesswork and prevent costly production stoppages due to tool stockouts.
  • Supply Chain Immunity: Kennametal controls the entire lifecycle, from tungsten mining and scrap recycling to powder production and finishing. This vertical integration secures their raw material supply against global shortages, ensuring stable pricing and consistent availability for their long-term partners.
