New scarf tool coating for galvanised tube KENT Corporation has introduced a new coating for OD scarf tools. The new coating was created for longer life on materials such as galvanised and aluminiumised tubing. The new GR coating is being used by several tube producers and they have seen increases in the life of the tool by as much as 100% or more. When scarfing coated materials, the coating often gums up under the tool causing it to wear prematurely. The new GR coating is very slick and reduces the build up on these applications resulting in a much longer tool life. Kent has a full line of ID and OD scarf tools along with complete ID scarfing and flash roll systems. Kent Corporation – USA Fax: +1 440 237 5368
