New grade pushes Beyond further
The new Beyond™ line of high-performance turning products from Kennametal launched at IMTS 2008 included 11 new grades for improved productivity in steel, stainless steels, and cast-iron applications. Now the company is introducing KCS10, a new grade in MP (Medium Positive) geometry with the capability of improving titanium turning up to 50 per cent, while also improving surface finish results and extending tool life.
Tests have shown cycle-time reductions of 40 per cent, saving up to an hour per part, depending on part configuration.
MP geometry in KCS10 is available in six styles applicable to a wide variety of standard toolholders.
