Carbide with TiAIN and lubricity layer PVD coating. It has a lower friction coefficient and a lower cutting energy during finishing. The sharper cutting edge reduces the built-up edge damage and gives the workpiece an excellent surface finish. Recommended for alloyed steel.
Cemented carbides are a class of hard materials used extensively for cutting tools, as well as in other industrial applications. It consists of fine particles of carbide cemented into a composite by a binder metal. Cemented carbides commonly use tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC), or tantalum carbide (TaC) as the aggregate. Mentions of "carbide" or "tungsten carbide" in industrial contexts usually refer to these cemented composites. The cobalt content could vary from 5% to 23% base on application. 8% to 12% are the most common for cutting tools. Ruthenium is used to replace cobalt as a perfered binder for the best cutting performance.
PVD-coated grade for fine to medium rough milling. First choice for milling with small feeds and/or low cutting speeds. Excellent for milling when there is a risk of vibrations and when coolant is used. Recommended for machining superalloys. Multilayer (TiAIN.
