Tough inserts machine advanced alloys,
hard metals
Two insert grades - one for machining heat resistant super alloys and the other, for hard turning of pre-heat treated steels - were introduced at MACH 2006, representing results of intense R and D.
Sandvik Coromant demonstrated its continued high level of research and development at MACH 2006 with the launch of two new insert grades, GC1105 and CB7015, both featured for the first time in the UK The GC1105 grade has been specifically developed for machining challenging materials such as heat resistant super alloys

Cutting tool catalogue includes free methods CDs
A comprehensive catalogue of tools and methods for the die and mould making industry includes two free CDs - one containing a metal cutting data module to optimise cutting data.
The grade will be widely used in aerospace metal cutting - gas turbine engine manufacture for example - but it will also find applications in industries as diverse as oil and gas, small part machining and medical.
Equally suited to first stage machining or finishing, GC1105 features a unique thin PVD coating offering excellent adhesion to the substrate, even on the sharp edges.
This creates an insert that offers edge toughness, reliable resistance to plastic deformation, longer life, high security and excellent chip control.
GC1105 is available in many different geometries from edge rounded inserts for first stage machining to razor sharp edge inserts for finishing operations.
For better chip flow, GC1105 is introduced with -MF geometry.
CB7015 is a cubic boron nitride coated grade specifically developed for hard part turning.
Likely applications include those where highly productive finish machining of case hardened materials is the key requirement.
The insert features Coromant Safe-Lok technology and the grade development has features which preserve the cutting edge and that wear has minimal effect on the surface finish generated throughout the insert life.
CB7015 inserts are available with wiper technology and the yellow TIN coating and cutting edges are laser marked with an individual identity number to help identify used and unused edges.
