MATERIALS AND GRADES

Grades ISO Coating Layers Recommended Applications

P10-P30 A cermet grade. Provides excellent resistance to wear and plastic deformation even at high cutting speeds
IC30N M10-M20 and medium feeds. Useful for turning and milling of semi-finishing and finishing applications.
H10-H25

IC07 M10-M30 An uncoated, fine grain carbide grade. Used for high temperature alloys and stainless steel at low to medium cutting speeds.
S10-S30

M10-M25 K10-K20
IC20 N05-N25 S05-S20 An uncoated carbide grade. Used for semi-finishing, finishing and semi-roughing of aluminum, cast iron and stainless steel.
Used at low to medium speeds and feeds.
H05-H15
M10-M30
IC08 N10-N25 An uncoated, fine grain carbide grade. Used for stainless steel and high temperature alloys at low to medium cutting speeds.
S10-S30
N10-N30 P30-P50 An uncoated carbide grade. Used mainly for machining aluminum at medium cutting speeds with medium to large chip sections.
IC28 M30-M40 The inserts usually feature very sharp cutting angles.
S20-S25

IC50M P20-P30 An uncoated carbide grade. Recommended for semi-finishing to rough steel milling with medium to large chip sections.

IB55 K05-K15 H10-H30 A 55% CBN brazed tip, used for finishing hardened steel (45-65 HRc) in continuous cutting.

IB85 K01-K15 An 85% CBN brazed tip, used for high speed turning of cast iron, cemented tungsten carbide, sintered metals and heavy alloys.
Excellent for interrupted cutting of hardened steel.

ID5 N01-N10 A PCD brazed tip, suitable for machining aluminum (Si < 12%) and copper alloys and general cutting of nonferrous materials.

ID8 N05-N15 A PCD grade for milling applications. Ideal for machining nonferrous metals, such as high silicon (>12%) aluminum alloys and
metal matrix composites. Typical components: engine, gearbox and transmission components, disk brakes, glass epoxy parts, etc.

IS8 K01-K20 A silicon nitride grade, used for medium turning and milling applications. Can be used for interrupted cuts.
SILICON NITRIDE Cutting speed range: 100-1500 m/min, feed range: 0.1-1.0 mm/rev.
