An abbreviation for Constant Velocity Drive "CVD" is a trademark of MIP (Moore's Ideal Products, Inc ) MIP offers their CVD universal dogbones for many R/C kits, and their CVD's are featured as standard equipment on the RS4 Pro 2, Nitro MT Racer and RS4 Pro 3 The main features of the MIP CVD's are their improved efficiency over standard universal dogbones, ability to be rebuilt if an axle or "bone" is bent or damaged and ease of finding replacement parts The MIP website is www miponline com
chemical vapor deposition (standard chip making procedure in which elements are deposited in thin layers in a vacuum)
Chemical Vapor Deposition A coating deposition process that is characterized by a chemical reaction producing the desired film material as well as a waste stream CVD processes frequently involve use of noxious and/or unstable materials In hard coating technology, CVD is an older process for the deposition of TiN It is generally only used for coating cemented carbide inserts, because of the extreme temperatures of the process It's primary advantage is the ability to coat thick, tough layers for rough-cutting applications Disadvantages include corner rounding, microcracking, and temperature-induced problems
