CVD Coating Increases Tool Life Stability
August 1, 2016
Sumitomo's new AC8025P Grade for steel turning is designed to achieve high productivity and a longer tool life for reduced machining costs.
Featuring Sumitomo's Absotech Platinum CVD Coating, combined with a newly developed carbide substrate, the AC8025P provides enhanced cutting edge chipping resistance and adhesion resistance. "Improvements to the coating adhesion strength control residual stress and provide more than twice the chipping resistance as compared to conventional coatings, while maintaining wear resistance," said a company spokesperson.
A smooth surface treatment helps improve adhesion resistance along the ridgeline of the cutting edge. When machining low-carbon steel, rolled steel and other materials prone to adhesion, where problems such as peeling or chipping of the coating layer at the cutting edge, deterioration of the surface finish and reduced tool life may occur, the AC8025P increases tool life stability. Edge sharpness reduces chattering.
The AC8025P grade is suitable for a variety of steel turning applications, including continuous cutting, light interrupted cutting and interrupted cutting.
