New Chemical Vapor Deposition-Coated Insert 'AC8025P' for Steel Turning

摘要

In the production of machine components, there is an ever-growing demand for saving delivery time, machining costs, and labor by automatic and unmanned operation. In this situation, cutting tools are required more than ever to have more durability to prevent unexpected breakage during machining, in addition to higher machining efficiency and longer tool life. To meet the above requirements, Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal Corporation has developed and released new chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-coated inserts "AC8025P" series (Photo 1). The inserts employ a new coating technology called "Absotech Platinum," offering remarkably high machining stability and reliability.
