For turning stainless steels – regardless of whether they be cast iron blanks, forged parts or semi-finished parts – Ceratizit is sure to have the optimum cutting insert in its range. In addition to the established CTPM125 carbide grade, two new cutting materials now round off our product range: the more wear-resistant CTCM120 and the tougher CTCM130.
Thanks to the latest Dragonskin coating, both grades are high performers and process-secure. Ceratizit launched two new carbide grades which are recommended for turning austenitic, stainless steels and supplement the existing all-rounder cutting material. Development focused on the most frequently used stainless steels V2A (e.g. 1.4301) and V4A (1.4545). The aim was to provide the user with a wider selection of cutting inserts, which perfectly and seamlessly cover every application – from roughing to fine machining. The universal PVD-coated carbide grade CTPM125 has proved its worth over many years. It is characterised by a well-balanced ratio between toughness and elevated-temperature hardness and promises to deliver high reliability when machining all stainless steels.
