Grade for Cast Iron Milling
May 1, 2014
Sandvik Coromant has introduced GC3330, a wear-resistant grade for cast iron milling.
"The consistent performance of GC3330 creates opportunities for manufacturers to increase machine utilization as well as remove a lot of metal in a short time without compromising tool life," said a company spokesperson. "Minimizing machining interruptions also enables secure unmanned machining.
"GC3330 is equipped with Inveio, the latest innovation in material science. The technology uses uni-directional crystal orientation. While the crystal orientation in conventional inserts' CVD alumina coating normally is random, GC3330 has controlled crystals lined up towards the top surface. This is the secret behind the endurance, predictability and long tool life of GC3330."
The new insert grade GC3330 is designed for both dry and wet cast iron milling, from roughing to finishing. Sandvik Coromant reported it can be used in any cast iron milling operation for both grey and nodular cast iron materials. GC3330 is available for a variety of milling cutters for face, shoulder, profile, high feed and parting and grooving milling.
