Chipbreaker and Grade Selection Guide for Turning Material Work Cast Iron Cast Iron Grades AC4010K / AC4015K / AC420K AC4010K : Our 1st recommended grade for machining gray cast iron. Adopts an ultra-thick new CVD coating to realise ultra-high-speed machining at VC = 700m/min. AC4015K : Our 1st recommended grade for ductile cast iron. Insert Grades New high-adhesion, high-strength CVD coating realises both wear resistance and chipping resistance. AC420K : Superior fracture resistance, providing excellent stability in interrupted unstable cutting and when cutting mill-scaled work.
