Sandvik Coromant GC4315 and GC4325 grades suit automotive transmission machining
Sandvik Coromant grades GC4315 and GC4325 with Inveio technology are designed to support transmission machining in the automotive industry.
Transmission manufacturing sees large volume production requiring low cost per part. Therefore, requirements such as high process security, short cycle times and consistent quality are critical for achieving faster lead-times and lower production costs.
Soft-stage turning is performed before the case hardening process. Offering high wear resistance and excellent tool life - this is where the steel turning grades GC4315 and GC4325 show a marked improvement in performance, says Sandvik Coromant.
First choice grade for soft-stage turning in stable conditions GC4315 is designed for the high speed turning of steel with a long and predictable tool life.
Grade GC4325 is a tougher steel turning grade that manages interrupted cuts and uneven depths of cut at high speeds, it is claimed.
