Dormer Pramet unveils M8340 PVD milling grade

Dormer Pramet has released a PVD milling grade for general applications. Known as M8340, the product is part of the company's Up!Grade family.

M8340 is a combination of a sub-micron grain size substrate and multi-layer PVD coating. Designed primarily for milling common steels, stainless steels and, under certain conditions, cast iron, the grade (which will replace the existing 8240 grade) is being made available across almost 150 inserts within Pramet's indexable programme. The grade is suitable for both dry and flood-cooled operations.
