Grades Description

HCM2000: Built for Demanding Stainless Steel Machining

Engineered with a CVD Multilayer TiCN-Al₂O₃-TiN coating and advanced surface treatment, this grade delivers reduced cutting resistance and minimises built-up edge. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance in challenging and interrupted stainless steel turning operations.

• SMOOTH EFFICIENT CUTTING: Advanced surface treatment lowers friction for cleaner cuts and improved chip flow.
• LONG-LASTING WEAR RESISTANCE: Engineered to withstand heat and abrasion, ensuring stable performance over time.
• HANDLES INTERRUPTED TURNING WITH EASE: Maintains edge stability and resists chipping during demanding or unstable machining cycles.
• RELIABLE UNDER TOUGH CONDITIONS: Maintains edge integrity and stability during interrupted and high-demand turning.

HPM2000: Optimised for Reliable Stainless Steel Semi-Finishing

This grade is specially developed for stainless steel turning, featuring a PVD AlTiN coating that offers strong adhesion and excellent chemical resistance. Its ultrafine WC substrate ensures stable and consistent performance, providing excellent wear resistance. 

• MINIMISES BUILT-UP EDGE: Reduces material adhesion on the cutting surface,  ensuring smooth operation and consistent performance.
• PRECISION INSEMI-FINISHING: Delivers accurate dimensional control and superior surface quality in stainless steel.
• ENHANCES PRECISION, EFFICIENCY, & TOOL LIFE: Delivers accurate results, improves productivity, and extends tool longevity.
