Grades
μK10
HTA
Very wear-resistant grade
For light machining of steel, stainless steel, and titanium alloys under favourable machining conditions
HTAX
Very wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant grade, for light machining of small parts with low cutting feed. Recommended for the following material: Inox 304, 316L, 317L, 904, Phynox
HCR-TF
Specific grade for non-ferrous materials such as copper, brass, lead-free brass, bronze, and nickel silver.
Reduces sticking. Alternative to DLC coatings for certain applications
HTiN
Grade for light machining of low resistance materials which causes edge build-up
Very low friction ratio
Not suitable for titanium machining
HAC
Grade non-ferrous materials
Very low fiction ratio
First choice for aluminium up to 5% Si, copper, and low alloyed titanium
HN
Wear resistant micro-grain grade
Suitable for the machining of low alloyed titanium
Not suitable for interrupted cut
PCD / PKD
PCD is primarily used for machining highly abrasive non-ferrous materials
It features high hardness, low friction, and excellent thermal conductivity – characteristics that enable high cutting speeds and extend tool life
