For difficult-to-machine materials like Inconel and Rene in complex aerospace applications, or cobalt-chromes and high alloy stainless steels in medical applications, the Widia Victory FS geometry is a ground, positive design, used best in finishing tasks where surface finish and minimising part deflection are critical. Proprietary nose geometry and optimised edge treatment result in an insert that is said to retain its cutting edge, offering minimal heat generation and good chipbreaking. The FS line is available in a WS10PT PVD grade.
The Widia Universal Roughing (UR) geometry is designed to increase roughing and medium turning performance in stainless steels and steel workpieces. Its chipbreaker and positive rake angle are designed to reduce cutting forces while improving notching resistance. Available in UR geometry are the WP15CT, WP25CT and WP35CT grades.
