New Grades for High-Speed Machining, Interrupted cutting and Parting Applications, Plus Cermet Grades Added
Iwaki, Japan, August 19, 2024 – Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Headquarters: Iwaki, Fukushima) announces the expansion of the insert series for the high-precision grooving and parting tool “TetraForceCut” with new grades.
Overview
“TetraForceCut” is a high-precision grooving and parting tool series that adopts economical four-corner inserts. With its unique insert shape and three-point clamping system, it achieves high insert clamping rigidity and excellent cutting edge position accuracy. The series offers three types of inserts: the versatile “TCS type” with pressed-in chipbreakers, the high-efficiency “TCM type” that balances sharpness and cutting edge strength, and the “TCL type” with a sharp cutting edge for low cutting forces. These inserts provide stable machining across various work materials.
In addition to the existing “AH7025” grade, the “TCS type,” “TCM type,” and “TCL type” inserts will now include the “AH8005” grade for high-speed machining with excellent wear resistance, and the “AH6235” grade for superior toughness to suppress chipping and breakage in interrupted cutting and parting applications.
The “AH8005” grade combines an aluminum-rich multilayer coating with a dedicated carbide substrate that excels in wear resistance, ensuring remarkable wear resistance and stable long tool life even in high-speed machining. On the other hand, the “AH6235” grade features a high-hardness titanium-rich nano multilayer coating as its outer layer, combined with a high-toughness carbide substrate, providing stable long tool life even in interrupted cutting and parting applications.
Additionally, the series introduces the new “TCG type” insert with a large rake angle and a ground chipbreaker for low cutting forces. The Cermet insert grade “NS9530” employs a special surface technology to enhance toughness with a balance of chipping, and wear resistance. Combined with the “TCG type” insert, this configuration ensures high-quality grooving with a shiny surface finish.
With the addition of the new grades “AH8005” and “AH6235,” and the “TCG type” insert, the “TetraForceCut” series demonstrates exceptional stability in high-precision grooving and parting applications across a broader range of machining areas, significantly contributing to productivity improvements for customers.
