First Choice: For Finishing Application of Stainless Steel, Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic, with Small Depth of Cut and Low Feed per Revolution at Medium SFM (Vc), Medium interrupted Cut, Wet Working Condition
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.
For general turning applications at a medium SFM. Use inserts to cut 300, 400 and PH seried Austenitic Stainless Steel. Inserts have a hard, tough, impact, abrasive and thermal shock resistant substrate with a CVD TiCN/TiN coating.
