Grades

• 
  K68

  Composition: A hard, low binder content, alloyed grade WC/Co fine-grain grade.
  Application: The K68 grade has excellent abrasion resistance for machining cast irons, austenitic stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, and as an alternative to the K313 grade on most high-temperature alloys. Use as a general-purpose grade for non-ferrous materials.

  S High-Temp Alloys

  N 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.

• 
  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.

• KC730

  KC730

• KC850

  composition: A CVD tri-phase coating on an extra-strong, cobalt-enriched
  alloyed substrate.
  application: Designed for heavy cutting of low-, medium-, and high-carbon
  steels, medium hardness alloy and tool steels, stainless steels, and some
  high-temperature alloys. Excellent thermal and mechanical shock resistance
  makes grade KC850 ideally suited for difficult drilling applications.
  Used in inserts for Kendex/Metcut drill bodies.
  

• 
  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.
