New Seco CS100 Grade Offers Higher Cutting Speeds
June 1, 2014
Seco Tools, LLC's new CS100 sialon ceramic grade is engineered for rough machining applications that involve nickel-based heat-resistant super alloys (HRSA).
The grade features high chemical inertness, high abrasion resistance and high toughness. "In cutting trials, Seco found CS100 offers up to 25 percent longer tool life when compared to a competitor's sialon ceramic grades. This makes it the ideal solution to meet the aerospace industry's ever growing demands for HRSA materials," said a company spokesperson.
"When machining precision components in materials such as Inconel, Nimonic and Waspaloy for the aerospace and power generation segments, CS100 requires fewer tool changes," said the spokesperson. "Furthermore, by allowing much higher cutting speeds than can be used with carbide inserts, CS100 minimizes cutting times."
For complete machining of these challenging materials, CS100 complements Seco's existing PCBN and carbide product range.
For cutting data and additional information on the CS100 insert grade, contact a local Seco representative or visit www.secotools.com/cs100. Tips for HRSA machining with these ceramic inserts can be found on Seco's Cutting Edge Conversation blog.
