Seco Tools' TP1030 cermet grade is designed to deliver outstanding threading performance and maintain excellent tool life in high production thread turning operations – especially when machining steels and stainless steels.
TP1030 enables users to achieve and maintain tight tolerance and high surface finishes across a wide cutting speed spectrum. For this Seco recommends using its HD threading holders.
TP1030 has an ultra-fine grain cermet substrate and is available in an S-type insert to ensure a uniform profile edge line. Compared to carbide, TP1030 exhibits superior crater wear resistance and reduced built-up edge risk. A TiSiAIN nano-laminate PVD coating further protects the edge.
TP1030 cermet grade, aimed at machining steels and stainless steels, complements Seco's existing CP500, CP300 and CP200 PVD-coated carbide threading inserts. It is offered in the most common external and internal profiles and pitches, such as ISO 1.0-3.0 mm, UN 20-8 TPI and W 19-11, as well as 60º partial profiles.
