T1000A / T1500A / T1500Z T1000A : High-hardness cermet with outstanding wear resistance and toughness. Realises high dimensional accuracy for continuous steel machining or finishing of powdered metal or cast iron. T1500A : A general-purpose cermet made from hard grains with different grain sizes, delivering functionality that
provides an excellent balance of wear resistance and toughness, along with good surface finish quality. T1500Z : Employs Brilliant Coat PVD coating with excellent lubricity to provide better wear resistance and consistent surface finishes in low-speed cutting applications such as machining of small products or low carbon steel.
Exhibits excellent Provides excellent fracture and wear resistance. 0.20 wear resistance. Competitor’s Product A
