Turning inserts are wear-resistant,
tough
Insert grades for turning steels - including ferritic and martensitic stainless steels - are exceptionally wear-resistant and tough, and allow increases in feed and the depth of the cut.
Kennametal's new grades KC9140 and KC9145 improve tool life and increase operational safety for turning steel These grades demonstrate their special qualities during routine roughing and during high-performance roughing of normal steel when increased toughness is required

Micro tooling system speeds up auto lathe changes
Quick-change tooling system for automatic lathes, featured in the "Micro Machining Tools" catalogue, has achieved time savings of up to 40% and can be used in turning and boring operations.
They are also excellent for machining ferritic and martensitic stainless steels.
These materials are mainly used in general engineering and in the automotive industry.
As a result of new substrates, the new grades are exceptionally wear-resistant and tough.
This allows the user to increase both the feed and the depth of the cut - even for exacting applications.
Both grades have a 12 micron thick multi-layer CVD coating (TiN-MT-TiCN-Al2O3-TiN) that ensures high wear resistance and resilience.
The inserts are polished again after being coated in order to reduce the chip-induced damage and inclination towards chip welding.
The ground surfaces significantly increase operational safety and contribute to an improved tool life.
The new grades are available for the inserts CNMG, CNMM, DNMG, SNMG, SNMM, TNMG, VNMG and WNMG with -MN, -RP -RN and -RH chipbreakers.
