KORLOY has newly launched M40 grade PC9540 which is specialized for Stainless steel milling.
Stainless steel is a kind of metal material which is widely used in various industries with its characteristics such as fine resistance to corrosion, moderate strength degree, and luster on its surface. Especially there are steady increase in consumption of Stainless steel with high hardness and heat resistance features at Turbo charger, Turbine housing, Aerospace parts, and etc. In comparison to general Stainless steel, high strength and heat resistance Stainless steel is grouped into hard-to-cut Stainless steel due to its number of features that make the situation harder. It provides higher temperature that occurs wear on inserts, leads to frequent built up edge symptom, and it tends to cause fractures and chipping from its high shear resistance characteristic. With continuous demand on harder cutting condition application, the existing grades of M25 to M35 grade reached out to the limitation of improving tool life and cycle time in highly interrupted machining with hard-to-cut Stainless steel. Thus, KORLOY recommends a new rising PVD M40 grade, PC9540 for improving productivity in hard-to-cut Stainless steel milling.
Newly launched PC9540 is an exclusive PVD grade for Stainless steel in medium to rough cutting and interrupted milling. Due to its high toughness substrate that restrains fracture spread symptom, it maximizes both chipping and fracture resistance. It also allows stable machinability in high strength and heat resistance Stainless steel by applying the new rising PVD oxide film with oxidation and heat resistance. With these features, PC9540 overcomes the previous limitation in machining productivity. Moreover, with its implementation of special surface treatment, it prevents from chipping and Built up edge and provides stable machinability. Therefore, the average tool life of the PC9540 is 50% longer in hard-to-cut stainless steel machining than the existing grade and it provides high productivity in general stainless steel machining.
In short, PC9540 is KORLOY's next generation grade solution that would lead Stainless steel machining market, and it would offer improvement in both productivity and stable machining quality.
