Insert additions for T515: a CVD grade for cast iron turning
Tungaloy Corporation is pleased to announce the expansion for T515, a CVD grade for cast iron turning, which has been enjoying a positive response in the market since its release. The items included in the expansion are positive inserts, large-sized inserts, and wiper inserts.
T515 grade, with exclusively engineered cemented carbide substrate and coating, is highly versatile and perfect for cast iron turning. With enhanced adhesion between the substrate and the coating, T515 delivers strong resistance to chipping and flaking, thus offering more stable machining. By thickening the alumina (Al2O3) layer by 1.7 times, Tungaloy has succeeded in drastically improving wear resistance in high-speed machining and realized astoundingly long tool life.
PremiumTec, the Tungaloy’s original surface treatment technology, improves the surface smoothness of the coating for outstanding resistance to chipping and built-up edge.
Now T515 is available with its positive and large-sized inserts, an even vaster range of application area can be covered in cast iron turning. With wiper inserts, high-feed range can be covered, improving customers’ productivity and reducing their production cost.
Main features:
Enhanced adhesion between the cemented carbide substrate and the coating drastically increases resistance to chipping and flaking.
Thicker alumina layer helps strengthen wear resistance in high-speed machining.
PremiumTec improves the surface smoothness of the coating, significantly increasing resistance to chipping and built-up edge.
