Allied T-A® Insert Grades
| HSS (CPM-M4) |
| |
This tool steel grade possesses the
highest material toughness to resist shock and vibration loading. It will
drill the majority of steels and cast irons in the industry that are below
280 BHN. Coatings (point): (speeds/feeds)(Coolant Recommendation) |
| |
| SC - Super Cobalt
(CPM-T15) |
| |
This tool steel grade exhibits
midrange wear resistance and toughness. It is more wear resistant, but
slightly lower in toughness (more brittle) than standard HSS. This grade
will provide increased wear resistance in any ferrous or non-ferrous
application, especially materials within the 280-359 BHN
range. Coatings (point): (speeds/feeds)(Coolant Recommendation) |
| |
| PC - Premium
Cobalt |
| |
This is the most wear resistant tool
steel Allied offers. It possesses reduced material toughness making it
more susceptible to fracture from shock and vibration. It is recommend for
hard materials (350-500 BHN) as well as abrasive materials. High machine
tool and fixture rigidity are required in order to consider premium cobalt
as a reliable cutting material. Coatings (point): (speeds/feeds)(Coolant Recommendation) |
| |
| C5 Carbide |
| |
This carbide grade is for general
use in steel applications. It offers exceptionally high wear resistance.
High machine tool rigidity is required. Coatings (point): (speeds/feeds)
(Coolant Recommendation) |
| |
| C2 Carbide |
| |
This carbide grade is for use in
non-ferrous applications (high temperature alloys, stainless steels,
aluminums, cast irons). It offers exceptionally high wear resistance. High
machine tool rigidity is required. Coatings (point):
(speeds/feeds)
(Coolant Recommendation) |
| |
| C3 Carbide |
| |
This carbide grade is for use in
gray cast iron applications. Inserts made from C3 carbide are stocked with
Allied's CI geometry and TiAIN coating. It offers exceptionally high wear
resistance. High machine tool rigidity is required. Coatings
