T1000A / T1500A / T1500Z / T2500Z
T1000A : H igh-hardness cermet with outstanding wear resistance and toughness. Creates high dimensional accuracy for continuous steel machining or finishing of powdered metal or cast iron. T1500A : A general-purpose cermet made from hard grains with different grain sizes, delivering functionality that provides an excellent balance of wear resistance and toughness, along with good surface finish quality. T1500Z : Incorporates Brilliant Coat ® PVD coating with excellent lubricity to provide better wear resistance and consistent surface finishes in low-speed cutting applications such as machining of small products or low carbon steel. T2500Z : Features Brilliant Coat ® PVD coating along with optimized substrate for doubling breakage resistance in moderate to interrupted cutting applications.

Grades AC8015P / AC8020P / AC8025P / AC8035P / AC1030U
Covers a wide range of machining applications from high-speed to interrupted cutting and small lathes AC8015P : Development of crater damage is suppressed by controlling the orientation of the alumina crystal grains. Achieves long, stable tool life during high-speed and high feed cutting. AC8020P: Alumina coating with even higher strength balances outstanding stability and wear resistance in turning mill-scale on forged material. Gold-colored coating makes used corners easily identifiable. AC8025P : Our 1st recommended grade for turning steel. Surface smoothing technology significantly suppresses adhesion of work material components. Achieves long, stable tool life with various cutting speeds and work materials. AC8035P : Tensile stress removal of the coating layer greatly improves fracture resistance. Achieves long, stable tool life during heavy interrupted cutting. AC1030U : E mploys a new PVD coating, and a dedicated tough carbide substrate. High-quality cutting edge grade suppresses adhesion and micro-chipping, realizing excellent machined surface quality.

Stainless Steel
Grades
AC6020M / AC6030M / AC6040M / AC1030U
AC6030M : Our 1st recommended grade for turning of stainless steel, achieving long and stable machining. Drastically reduces the abnormal damage common in stainless steel machining, thanks to the improved coating strength and excellent adhesion. AC6040M :Drastically improves reliability in the unstable cutting range, thanks to the excellent adhesion and peel-off resistance of the new PVD coating as well as the improved fracture resistance of the dedicated carbide substrate. AC6020M :Combines a high-hardness carbide substrate with excellent wear resistance and a new CVD coating with improved coating strength to achieve both excellent wear resistance and fracture resistance. Achieves long, stable tool life during high-speed cutting. AC1030U : High-quality cutting edge grade suppresses adhesion and micro-chipping, realizing excellent machined surface quality.
