The grades’ silver-coloured PVD coating has improved heat-resistant capabilities and virtually eliminates the occurrence of built-up edge (BUE) when cutting ‘sticky’ titanium, says Seco. Furthermore, because the creation of BUE is eliminated, inserts have approximately 50% longer life, helping manufacturers reduce tool costs.
MS2050 grades are suitable for use with Seco’s Turbo 10, Helical T4-08 and Highfeed cutting tools, and are available in a range of different radii (from 0.4 to 6.3 mm). They also come with positive geometries, enabling them to be used in shoulder, face, copy and high feed milling operations.
