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 V = 700m/min. C AC4015K : Our 1st recommended grade for ductile cast iron.
New high-adhesion, high-strength CVD coating realises both wear resistance and chipping resistance.
when cutting mill-scaled work.
