Iscar Releases An Innovative Line Of High Functioning Carbide Grades For Increased Efficiency

A new family of Iscar turning inserts brings Sumo Tec performance and strength to CVD and DVD carbide grades. In identical tests in a range of turning applications, the inserts out performed their immediate competitors by 26 to 288 percent. The key to the increased life is the Sumo Tec specialized treatment, introduced in late 2007 in a restrained range of milling inserts, that perfects the coated surface and diminishes surface tension stresses in insert coatings. These result cooler running, superior chipping resistance, lowered built up edge and reliably longer edge life in all workpiece metals. During the alumina coating preparation, internal tension stresses occasionally cause cracks. The brand new Sumo Tec treatment induces compression stresses, which aides to seal those cracks. The seven new Sumo Tec turning grades include two for cast iron; three for steel and one for heat-resistant alloys and hardened steel. All the most desired insert geometries are accessible from inventory, with new geometries being added routinely. Iscar also plans to add new grades as well.

Here are the grades available:

FOR CAST IRON
IC5005, with a hard substrate, MTCVD TiCN and dense Al2O3 coating, is advocated mainly for nodular cast iron. It also handles other cast irons at medium to high cutting speeds at stationary or slightly unstable conditions. This grade may be used in hard cast irons when unusually high wear resistance is required.

IC5010, presenting a tough substrate, MTCVD TiCN and thick Al2O3 coating, targets gray cast iron. It is endorsed for interrupted cuts and unstable turning conditions in other materials.

FOR STEEL
IC8150, consisting of a extraordinarily hard substrate with a cobalt enriched outer layer, MTCVD TiCN and a thick alpha Al2O3 CVD coating. Promoting extraordinary thermal stability and resistance to chipping, this grade is recommended for high speed turning of steel under stable or slightly unstable conditions. It can also manage stainless steel and interrupted cuts in nodular cast iron.

IC8250, a tough substrate with the same outer layers. It features fantastic thermal stableness and protection to plastic deformation and is advocated for general machining of alloyed and stainless steel in a extensive range of conditions.

IC8350, featuring a very tough substrate under the same outer layers. It accomplishes outstanding shock protection and impressive wear resistance on alloyed and stainless steel.

For Alloys, Stainless Steel and Hardened Steel
IC807, with a tough submicron substrate under a TiAlN PVD coating, is suitable for turning heat resistant alloys, austenitic stainless steel and hard steel at low to medium cutting speeds. In a test opposite its nearest competitor on all three materials, the elevation in tool life was up to 150%.

Key Test Results
Prior to introducing the new SUMO TEC turning tool family, ISCAR tested all grades against their closest competitors in a diversity of utilization's. Here are the key results for grades 5005 and 5010 in cast iron. The enhancement was 47% in SAE 1045 steel and 250% in 4140. In forging steel, the cutting edge Sumo Tec insert lasted twice as long.
