AC8115P Turning grade for steel machining

AC8115P is a tur­ning grade spe­cially devel­oped for high-speed machi­ning of low-alloy steels and has ex­cellent wear resis­tance. The new, opti­mized base sub­strate and state-of-the-art coa­ting techno­logy with im­proved crys­talline align­ment enable except­ionally long ser­vice lives at high cutting speeds and dry machi­ning.

Opti­mi­zation of the ser­vice life of AC8115P

The new carbide sub­strate offers high hard­ness and resis­tance to plastic de­for­mation while main­tain­ing frac­ture resis­tance and sta­bility in de­man­ding con­ditions.

The inno­vative, new coa­ting techno­logy with im­proved crystal­line struc­ture signi­ficantly re­duces tool wear and en­ables long ser­vice life and consis­tent per­for­mance with long en­gage­ment times.

Increased efficiency:

Pre­cise align­ment of crys­tals in the coa­ting pro­vides ex­cellent resis­tance to scour wear and cutting edge chipp­ing

Cost savings:

The high-per­for­mance combi­nation of new sub­strate and opti­mized coa­ting en­ables a reduc­tion in pro­duction costs through higher pro­duct­ivity and pro­cess relia­bility.

The gold-coloured coa­ting en­ables easy wear de­tec­tion and thus helps to re­duce in­creased tool costs due to pre­mature change of the tool cut­ting edge.

Wide range of appli­cations:

AC8115P is par­ticu­larly effi­cient in auto­mated pro­duction lines where relia­bility and pro­cess safety are criti­cal.

T2500Z Coated cermet turning grade

T2500Z has been spe­cially de­veloped to in­crease the tool life in inter­rupted cuts when ma­chining steel. At the same time, the sur­face fin­ish im­proves its pro­per­ties and bene­fits make it an ideal choice for de­man­ding manu­fac­turing pro­cesses.

T2500Z Features

Excellent Wear Resistance:

The T2500Z features a high ther­mal con­duc­tivity cer­met sub­strate that re­duces ther­mal crack­ing and notch wear. Brilliant Coat® coa­ting tech­no­logy im­proves wear and ad­he­sion re­sis­tance, in­creasing tool life by 1.5 to 2.5 times com­pared to con­ven­tional pro­ducts.

Excellent Surface Finish:

T2500Z pro­vides stable ma­chining quality on va­rious ma­terials such as car­bon steel, alloy steel and bea­ring steel.

High process stability:

Thanks to its tough­ness and frac­ture strength, T2500Z is sui­table for both con­tinuous and inter­rupted cuts, en­abling high cutting speeds of up to 300 m/min, which in­creases effi­ciency in pro­duction.

Benefits for the user

Longer service life:

The excep­tional wear re­sis­tance signi­ficantly re­duces tool changes and down­time.

Cost-effectiveness:

Ex­ten­ded ser­vice life and the ability to use higher cutting speeds re­duce pro­duc­tion costs.

Higher product quality:

The first-class sur­face finish im­proves the quality of the manu­fac­tured work­pieces and meets the highest re­quire­ments.

The com­bi­nation of du­ra­bility, sta­bility and pre­cision makes the T2500Z the opti­mal choice for mo­dern manu­fac­turing en­viron­ments where effi­ciency and qua­lity are cri­tical.

AC5005S Turning grade for machining exotic steel and superalloys

The AC5005S tur­ning grade is mar­ked by out­stan­ding du­ra­bility due to highly ro­bust ma­terial com­po­sition. The cutting ma­terial grade AC5005S sets new stan­dards in ma­chi­ning tech­no­logy and offers a signi­ficant opti­mi­zation of tool life. The use of a high­ly re­sis­tant car­bide base sub­strate and an inno­vative coa­ting techno­logy a­chieves an ex­cep­tional com­bi­nation of hard­ness, wear re­sis­tance and frac­ture tough­ness.

Advantages of the AC5005S cutting material grade

Maximized tool life:

The special com­bi­nation of car­bide sub­strate and heat-re­sis­tant AlTiSiN multi-layer coa­ting sig­ni­fi­cantly re­duces wear on the cutting edge and offers ex­cellent re­sis­tance to plastic de­for­mation and cutting edge chips. Users bene­fit from stable per­for­mance even in de­man­ding ma­chi­ning con­ditions.

Reduced tool change times:

Thanks to the ex­ten­ded tool life, tools need to be changed less fre­quen­tly, which mini­mizes non-pro­ductive times in pro­duc­tion and in­creases pro­duc­tivity.

Excellent wear resistance:

The com­bi­nation of car­bide sub­strate and ad­vanced coa­ting tech­no­logy en­sures high re­sis­tance to scum and open sur­face wear.

High pro­cess re­lia­bility:

The ro­bust cutting edge mini­mizes the risk of micro-spalling and en­sures con­sis­tently high ma­chi­ning qua­lity.

Applications:

AC5005S is ideal for ma­chi­ning heat-re­sis­tant alloys and other de­man­ding com­po­nent materials. It is par­ti­cularly effec­tive at high cutting speeds and large chip volumes, without sa­cri­ficing tool life.

With the AC5005S tool grade, cus­tomers re­ceive a high-performance tool that not only im­presses with its du­ra­bility, but also makes a sig­ni­fi­cant con­tri­bu­tion to opti­mi­zing pro­duc­tion pro­cesses. The com­bi­nation of out­stan­ding wear re­sis­tance, re­duced change­over times and high pro­cess re­lia­bility makes it the ideal choice for mo­dern manu­fac­turing re­quire­ments.
