Steel grooving and parting, PC3035

Inserts for steel grooving and parting

In grooving and parting, tools are easily fractured and get wear from chattering due to narrow and long insert in high speed cutting. In addition, spindle, shaft and bearing parts demanding grooving and parting generally applied heat treatment have characteristics that surface is hard and substrate is soft. This feature occurs unstable tool life due to repeated chipping, welding and eliminating.

KORLOY newly launches the exclusive grade PC3035 which shows higher productivity in steel grooving and parting.

PC3035 is exclusive steel grooving and parting with high toughness substrate application maximized chipping resistance and fracture resistance to deal with frequent interruption while its application. It also adopted high hardness PVD coating with a lubricative surface treatment so it realized stable machinability with its enhanced welding resistance and chipping resistance even for the bearing steel machining.

PC3035 is the next generation grade solution from KORLOY well known for its fine technology in steel grooving and parting and it provides high productivity and stable cutting quality

Advantages

• Stable tool life

  Optimal for grooving and parting with the application of its exclusive substrate for steel cutting and the after treatment of lubrication

• High productivity in high speed and high feed cutting

  Enhanced productivity by good wear resistance coating layer

Face milling tool, RM8-X

High helix face milling tool with 8-cornered double-side inserts

KORLOY launched face milling tool, RM8-X minimizing cutting load and enhancing stability in machining.

RM8-X with right-handed high helix cutting edge can cut smoothly in high depth of cut machining and its optimal minor cutting edge ensures good surface finish. Double reverse positive shaped relief surface prevents notch wear due to work hardening layer and the variable chip breaker is implemented for good surface finish and strong cutting edge. To minimize welding with this strong cutting edge, high helix cutting edge and sharp chip breaker is adopted so it could realize high cutting performance and stable machining. In addition, RM8-X achieved the cost effectiveness with the insert's double side shape ensures maximum 8 corners.

RM8-X enhances longer tool life by preventing fracture of cutting edge and increasing wear resistance with those figural features above and customized grade selection per the workpiece material.

Advantages

• Good machinability
- High helix cutting edge and sharp chip breaker ensure excellent machinability and high speed and high feed machining.

• Stable tool life
- Reverse positive shaped relief surface structure and the application of strengthened screws realize stable machining.

• High surface finish
- Optimal-shaped minor cutting edge enhances high quality of machining.

• Economical tool
- Maximum 8 corners per the insert are available with its double sided shape.

FP Chip Breaker(Positive)

Turning insert for mild steel machining

Continuous and long chip flowing on the tools is formed while machining mild steel (containing 0.13-0.2% of carbon) used for components of automobile and general machinery machining. Remaining long chips create scratches on the workpiece and the chip can curl up with the tool or workpiece which can cause poor machinability in automatic Swiss lathe machining.

KORLOY's newly launched FP chip breaker enhances chip control and surface finish in mild steel machining. 

The FP chip breaker applied optimal 3-dimensional cutting edge and semicircle-shaped bump actualize chip curling in finishing and prevent chip blockage providing convenience for automatic machining.

In addition, its concave form and assistant bump on flank surface ensure perfect chip control in machining with lower depth of cut than nose R and back cutting. The sharp cutting edge is suitable for good surface finish per customers' needs and low cutting load prevents chattering in deep machining.

The FP chip breaker with various grades, cermet, coated cermet, CVD and PVD etc. is available for mild steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel machining. The optimal structure of FP chip breaker for internal machining and its high performance in mild steel machining without chip blockage provides the best solutions for customers.

Feature

• Actualized low cutting resistance and excellent surface finish by 3-dimensional cutting edge
• Enhanced chip removal in 0.1 mm depth of cut machining and 30% longer tool life due to chip breaker with semicircle-shaped bumps

Advantages

• Stable chip evacuation
- Preventing chip blockage in internal machining

• Excellent surface finish
- Enhanced surface finish and lowered cutting load from 3-dimensional cutting edge

• Convenient to automation in internal machining
- Optimized automatic production due to improved chip evacuation in 0.1 mm depth of cut machining

• Parts made of mild steel and low carbon steel
- Various materials of automobile components

High feed milling tool with 4 corners for small diameter

HFMD - High Feed Mill Double

To find a tool/solution that can easily machine hard-to-cut materials which are becoming more widely used in numerous industries (mold, aerospace, and etc) in pursuit of durability and lighter weight.

KORLOY recommends a new high feed tool, HFMD, which can easily resolve above two challenges.

HFMD insert is a double sided 4 corner insert which is economical and enhances machining productivity

In addition, HFMD has achieved high speed/high feed machining by applying high rake angle and helix design on its edge. These two features have significantly reduced cutting resistance compared to competitors' tools or even against positive-type inserts.

Furthermore, HFMD provides excellent clamping stability by applying concave clamping system on the side, wider bottom face at the clamping area, and bigger sized screws. These will help minimize noise and vibration, prevent damage of insert with stable machining in high feed machining, and improve the

As we can see in these advantages, KORLOY's HFMD is the next-generation high speed/high feed machining solution, one step ahead in the high-efficiency machining trend
