: Just one question...or one idea...
: It's possible to coat MMCs with PVD coatings?
: Thanks for your answer.

Hi Paul

Yes, it should be possible depending on type of MMC (Metal Matrix Composite) and coating. First example that comes to mind is titanium nitride coatings on tungsten carbide / cobalt MMC tool bits.
