WIDIA Victory – a premium performance product platform

It will include new extensions to the WIDIA M1200 series face milling cutters (pictured) and inserts, new TN series turning grades specifically engineered for steel and cast iron applications, and the new TOP DRILL M1 modular drilling system. In addition to the successful M1200 face milling range, WIDIA has added grades and geometries specifically for machining aluminium and non-ferrous materials, plus a new member to the series: the M1200HF face milling system. The TN7100 series is a new group of coated-carbide inserts of WIDIA inserts for turning steels. It is specifically engineered for finishing, medium-duty, and rough machining of all types of alloyed and unalloyed steels. The TN7100 series delivers exceptional value on key productivity metrics such as surface finish, longer tool life, consistent performance, and lower manufacturing costs. TN7105, a coated-carbide grade from WIDIA, is specially developed for light to medium turning applications in steel with a projected 30 per cent performance increase over previous WIDIA grades. Improved edge toughness provides smooth outer surfaces that increase tool life through reduced friction and workpiece sticking. A new alpha aluminum layer supplies improved coating integrity at higher speeds, making higher productivity possible at high cutting temperatures. WIDIA TN5105 carbide grade for turning is engineered for medium machining and finishing cast and ductile irons. Excelling in continuous-finishing applications, TN5105 provides exceptional value in such key performance metrics as surface finish, extended tool life, and consistent performance, with lower overall manufacturing costs as the result. TN5120 grade is specifically engineered for medium to rough machining of all cast-iron work materials, including wet and dry machining and interrupted and non-interrupted cuts. With a high-hardness substrate for superior speed capabilities, TN5120 is also most suitable for turning austempered ductile iron (ADI) materials, with their higher strength and toughness characteristics compared to conventional ductile irons and forged steels. ADI materials are commonly found in heavy truck, bus, automotive, railroad, agricultural, and other heavy-duty components. The new TOP DRILL M1 Modular Drill combines the economic benefits of modular drilling systems with machining performance and hole quality comparable to solid-carbide tools. The modular tools offer feeds/speeds and performance levels commonly achieved with solid-carbide drills. Metal removal rates are up to 50 per cent higher than competitive modular drills while providing longer tool life and improved hole quality. Non-regrindable inserts eliminate the logistical and tool life challenges associated with using reconditioned inserts.
