Cermet Grades
Cermet Grades
T1500A Feature & Benefits:
General purpose cermet grade that provides both wear and fracture resistance, and better quality finished surfaces
Economical alternative to carbide in finishing applications
A tough, high strength cermet grade produced from an optimized balance of tough / hard and ultra-hard grains
Improved oxidation resistance coupled with a smooth edge treatment generates excellent mirror-like surface finishes
T1500Z Feature & Benefits:
General purpose coated cermet grade that employs Sumitomo’s new Brilliant CoatTM PVD coating with excellent lubricity for longer tool life
Excellent wear resistance, adhesion resistance, and fracture resistance adds tool life- reducing your cost per part
Expanded chipbreaker lineup with newly developed “EFB” type gives excellent chip control when finishing
T2100Z Feature & Benefits:
A Coated Cermet Grade with 3 times the fracture resistance and improved stability and tool life in finishing steel turning applications. Cermets face the inherent material challenge of “poor chipping resistance,” we have developed a new cermet alloy featuring significantly enhanced toughness through a comprehensive revision of its alloy microstructure. By combining this new cermet alloy with a high-adhesion coating technology, we have achieved stable finishing operations and extended tool life.
