5 POINT. New insert grade for difficult-to-cut material New Development
High Toughness
Controls sudden fracture and realizes stable machining Substrate
Suitable for high efficiency machining.
Smooth TiN layer
Smooth & less adhesion
Improved stability
For Martensitic stainless steel and Ni-base heat-resistant alloys Tough α-Al2O3 layer
High heat resistance and wear resistance with CVD coating Prevents oxidation and wear of
coating layer due to high heat-
resistance of aluminum oxide
Improved stability due to thin layer coating technology Special Interlayer
Prevents peeling of coating layer
Ultra Fine TiCN layer
CA6535 High aspect ratio and micro
columnar TiCN coating layer
improves abrasive wear resistance M
For Ni-base heat-resistant alloys, titanium alloys and precipitation hardened MEGACOAT base
multi-layer structure
stainless steel Milling
Stable and longer tool life by special nano coating layer MEGACOAT NANO
