The different grades
GC3115
Based on a hard substrate, MT-CVD coated with TiCN-Al2O3 layer. A high wear resistant grade for grooving and turning applications under stable conditions. Also effective in hard steels. High cutting speeds.
GC4225 – first choice for cast iron
Based on a hard gradient sintered substrate, MT-CVD coated with TiCN-Al2O3-TiN layer (black and yellow). An all-round grade for ISO-P and ISO-K with excellent combination of high wear resistance and good edge security. To be used in grooving, turning and parting-off operations under stable conditions. Medium to high cutting speeds.
GC1125 – the universal grade
A fine grained substrate, PVD-coated with TiAlN layer. An excellent all-round grade in all ISO-areas. First choice for parting-off tubes, grooving and turning operations and works well in low-carbon and other smearing materials. Low to medium cutting speeds.
GC2135 – first choice for stainless steel
A MT-CVD-coated grade with TiCN-Al2O3-TiN layer. A grade for toughness demanding operations such as parting-off to centre and interrupted cuts. Low to medium cutting speeds.
GC1145
GC1145 combines submicron cemented carbide with a strengthening PVD oxide coating. The result is a grade which combines high edge toughness with wear resistance.
S05F
MT-CVD-coated TiCN-Al2O3-TiN layer at a fine grained carbide substrate. For roughing to finishing in HRSA-materials. |  | GC1005
A fine grained carbide substrate, PVD coated with TiAlN layer. Most suitable for roughing of aluminium.
H10
Uncoated carbide grade. Good edge sharpness for use in aluminium alloys and Heat Resistant Super Alloys (HRSA).
H13A – first choice for non-ferrous materials
Uncoated carbide grade. Good wear resistance and toughness combined with edge sharpness. To be used in non-ferrous and titanium materials.
GC1105 – first choice for HRSA
A fine grained carbide substrate, PVD coated with TiN-TiAlN layer. A wear resistant grade combined with sharp edges. To be used for finishing with close tolerances in HRSA and stainless steel.
CD10 – first choice for finishing aluminium
A polycrystalline diamond (PCD) grade. An extremely wear resistant grade giving very good surface finish. To be used only for nonferrous
materials.
CB7015 - first choice for hardened materials
High performance cubic boron nitride composite for hardened ferrous materials. Suitable for both continious and interupted cuts.
CB20
A cubic boron nitride (CBN) grade. A wear resistant grade. To be used for machining of hardened materials, with limited feed and depth of cut. Eliminates grinding operations.
Other grade information
GC1025
A fine grained substrate, PVD coated with TiAlN layer. An excellent all round grade for all ISO-areas. The thin coating makes it suitable for sharp edges. Low to medium cutting speeds. |
