K313
Composition: A hard, low binder content, unalloyed WC/Co fine-grain grade.
Application: Exceptional edge wear resistance combined with very high strength for machining titanium, cast irons, austenitic stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, and most high-temp alloys. Superior thermal deformation and depth-of-cut notch resistance. The grain structure is well controlled for minimal pits and flaws, which contributes to long, reliable service.S High-Temp AlloysN Non-Ferrous -
KC5010
Composition: An advanced PVD AlTiN coating over a very deformation-resistant unalloyed carbide substrate. The new and improved coating enables speeds to be increased by 50–100%.
Application: The KC5010 grade is ideal for finishing to general machining of most workpiece materials at higher speeds. Excellent for machining most steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous materials, and super alloys under stable conditions. It also performs well machining hardened and short chipping materials.P SteelS High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel -
KC5025
Composition: An advanced PVD-AlTiN-coated grade with a tough, ultra-fine-grain unalloyed substrate.
Application: For general-purpose machining of most steels, stainless steels, high-temp alloys, titanium, irons, and non-ferrous materials. Speeds may vary from low to medium and will handle interruptions and high feed rates.S High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel -
KC5510
Composition: An advanced PVD AlTiN-coated fine-grain tungsten carbide grade.
Application: The KC5510 grade is specifically engineered for the productive machining of high-temp alloys. The fine-grain tungsten carbide 6% cobalt substrate has excellent toughness and deformation resistance while the advanced PVD coating enables metalcutting speeds double those of conventional PVD-coated cutting tools. -
KC5525
Composition: Advanced PVD AlTiN-coated fine-grain high-cobalt carbide grade.
Application: The KC5525 grade utilises the same advanced PVD coating as the KC5510 grade in conjunction with a fine-grained tungsten carbide 10% cobalt substrate. The higher cobalt enables added security in interrupted cuts while the fine-grained WC maintains hardness-resisting deformation at higher speeds. Designed for medium to heavy interruptions in high-temp alloys. -
KCS10B
Composition: PVD-AlTiN coating with a very smooth coating surface and extremely hard, wear-resistant ultra fine-grain carbide substrate.
Application: The KCS10B™ grade is ideal for medium machining and finishing operations of Nickel-Based, Cobalt-Based, and Iron-Based High-Temperature Alloys. The extremely hard, wear-resistant carbide substrate allows for longer tool life while the ultra fine-grain carbide substrate and smoother coating reduces friction.S High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel -
KCU10
Composition: An advanced multilayer PVD coating over a very deformation-resistant unalloyed carbide substrate. The new and improved coating improves edge stability with wide range speed and feed capabilities.
Application: The KCU10™ grade is ideal for finishing to general machining of most workpiece materials at a wide range of speed and feed capabilities. Excellent for machining most steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous materials, and super alloys with improved edge toughness and higher cutting speed/feed capability.P SteelS High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel -
KCU25
Composition: An advanced PVD grade with hard AlTiN coating and fine-grain unalloyed substrate. The new and improved coating improves edge stability with wide range speed and feed capabilities.
Application: The KCU25™ grade is ideal for general machining of most steels, stainless steels, high-temp alloys, titanium, irons, and non-ferrous materials in a wide range of speeds and feeds with improved edge toughness for interrupted cuts and high feed rates.S High-Temp AlloysM Stainless Steel
