Beginning with soft stage steel turning, GC4325 and GC4315 insert grades for internal and external operations offer superior levels of wear resistance, the ability to withstand high cutting temperatures and cutting edges that stay in shape for long times in cut, says the company.
Moving to hard part turning, CBN inserts from Sandvik Coromant are offered for turning high quality steel surfaces in the hardness range 58-65 HRc, and provide wiper options to suit specific applications: WH (wiper HPT) generates low cutting forces for best surface integrity, while WG (wiper general) permits higher feed capacity.
Other transmission shaft solutions include the CoroCut 1-2 grooving programme, which is now available in the GC4325 grade for steel, along with a host of tools for gear and spline milling.
