Cutting Material Series for Boring



"MAPAL has developed a CVD-coated cutting material series specially tailored to the demands of boring in all cast materials - GJL, GJV and GJS," said a company spokesperson.

The new cutting materials HC720, HC725, HC730 and HC735 differ in the carbide substrate used in each case. All four feature heat-resistant a-aluminum oxide coating with enhanced coating adhesion. "Cutting edges with the new coating offer the potential for a significant increase in the cutting speed during boring, even with dry machining," said a company spokesperson. "Machining is possible with a cutting speed of 300 m/min, thus offering a considerable boost in productivity. At the same time, the cutting edges achieve significantly longer tool lives, as examples in practice show: when machining GJL25, the tool life was tripled compared with the PVD cutting material HP455 used to date."

The standard MAPAL product range of indexable blades for ISO boring tools is available with this cutting material series.
