Iwaki, Japan – August, 2025 – Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Head Office: Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture) announces the expansion of its T6200 and AH6200 series, adding 53 ISO inserts in the AH6225 grade that deliver superior wear and fracture resistance for stable and efficient stainless steel machining across diverse applications.
Challenges and Trends
In stainless steel machining, where both wear resistance and stability are essential, there is a growing demand for high-performance inserts across a wide range of industries—from general-purpose mechanical components to aerospace, shipbuilding, and automotive sectors. However, with the conventional AH6225 grade, the lack of standard settings for specific chipbreakers has prevented users from obtaining their desired specifications, leading to missed adoption opportunities. To address these Challenges and Market Conditions, an expansion of the product lineup has become necessary.
Product Overview
T6200 and AH6200 series are the latest inserts from Tungaloy, specifically designed for turning stainless steel. Featuring wear-resistant coatings and high reliability, they offer excellent performance across a wide range of applications, from continuous to interrupted cutting.
