High-Temp Alloys

What You Need: A solution that stands up against the accelerated carbide tool wear caused by the abrasive nature of INCONEL and similar high-temperature alloys.

It can be difficult to control the chip in these alloys, which leads to premature insert failure in turning applications.

Typical inserts usually wear in a “V” pattern and are subject to concentrated stress at “V” point. This concentrates stress leads to insert failure.

Kennametal’s Solution: The new Beyond™ turning grade KCU10™ wears in a “U” pattern, rather than the V-pattern.

This broader wear pattern dissipates heat and stress across the insert edge, similar to an architectural arch. This means less wear and premature insert failure.
