New Carbide Grade for Machining Stainless Steel
January 1, 2014
American National Carbide (ANC) has introduced a new carbide grade for machining stainless steel.
Using the Synergy insert geometry as a platform, ANC has developed a complementary grade to its AN6105 grade for high-temperature alloys. "The new grade, AN6120, uses the same PVD nano coating technology with a hard, micro-grain substrate, which allows high-speed machining of stainless steel with double-digit increases in productivity over traditional grades," said a company spokesperson. "This is a real breakthrough and by far the best product for machining stainless steel we have ever developed."
The new grade is available in a variety of negative and positive rake inserts of standard shapes and sizes to provide a wide range of machining options. All styles include the proprietary post-coating treatment, which is designed to ensure optimal chip control while reducing cutting forces.
