Ceratizit Hardmetals & Tools
Asian market share expanded Highlights
In the 2011/12 fiscal year, Ceratizit was able to benefit
significantly from the strong growth of the hard materials
market. This growth was driven by the automotive, food,
aerospace, mechanical engineering and power engineering
industries.
Ceratizit expanded its market share in Asia significantly
by integrating the Taiwanese hard materials manufacturer
CB-Carbide and increasing its production capacity for
tungsten carbide and carbide rods in China.
In fall 2011, Ceratizit showcased numerous innovative
tools for the cutting tools industry at EMO, the sector’s
largest trade fair. These included new wear-protection
solutions that deliver more robust operations and extend
service life in areas such as thermal processing, wood
pellet production and semiconductor wafer production.

Parting and grooving with high
repeatability
The new PX parting and grooving
system processes steel, stainless
steels and super-alloys with
precision, ensuring repeated
accuracy. Since the PX system
can be clamped in two ways, the
punch plates can be inserted in
an overhead position. The new PX parting and grooving system
Machining stainless steel
The new CTPM 125 carbide
grade ensures cutting inserts are
tough and wear-resistant. It guarantees
high-quality components
with an optimum surface finish
and a long service life.
Drilling through stone
The individually developed hammer
tips are supplied ready for
welding and soldering. They are
used for processing stone in
the construction industry, where
materials are highly abrasive.
A tough yet hard carbide was
developed to increase service life
and drill speed.
