Ma t e r i a l Representative Grades / Performance P Steel Wo r k Recommended Cutting Conditions Steel Uncoated Cermet Coated Cermet Grades T1000A / T1500A / T1500Z T1000A:A high hardness cermet that combines excellent wear resistance and toughness. Achieves high accuracy in continuous cutting of steel and finishing of powder metal and cast iron. A T1500A:A general purpose cermet made from hard grains with different sizes and functions that Grades provide good surface finish and a good balance of wear resistance and toughness. T1500Z:Employs the “Brilliant Coat” PVD coating with excellent lubricity to provide better wear resistance and stable surface finish in low-cutting-speed applications such as small product or low carbon steel machining.
