Abstract
Abstract A triple coated cemented hard metal carbide product in which a cemented metal carbide substrate is coated with, first, a metal carbide coating, in such a manner so as to create a carbon deficient area in the substrate, then, a metal carbo-nitride and, finally, a metal nitride coating so as to take advantage of the metal carbide and metal nitride properties in order to protect the cemented metal carbide substrate from corrosive atmospheres and abrasion due to frictional wear.
