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):  TiN is Allied's original coating. Its longevity and wide use are a tribute to its success in the cutting tool market.  TiAIN has the highest heat threshold of the coatings offered, allowing for much higher drilling speeds. Effective in both cast iron and steel applications.  TiCN is the hardest coating Allied offers. This provides increased wear resistance over TiN coating making it suitable for harder, more wear resistant materials.  (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):  TiN is Allied's original coating. Its longevity and wide use are a tribute to its success in the cutting tool market.  TiAIN has the highest heat threshold of the coatings offered, allowing for much higher drilling speeds. Effective in both cast iron and steel applications.  TiCN is the hardest coating Allied offers. This provides increased wear resistance over TiN coating making it suitable for harder, more wear resistant materials.  (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):  TiN is Allied's original coating. Its longevity and wide use are a tribute to its success in the cutting tool market.  TiAIN has the highest heat threshold of the coatings offered, allowing for much higher drilling speeds. Effective in both cast iron and steel applications.  TiCN is the hardest coating Allied offers. This provides increased wear resistance over TiN coating making it suitable for harder, more wear resistant materials.  (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):  TiN is Allied's original coating. Its longevity and wide use are a tribute to its success in the cutting tool market.  TiAIN has the highest heat threshold of the coatings offered, allowing for much higher drilling speeds. Effective in both cast iron and steel applications.  TiCN is the hardest coating Allied offers. This provides increased wear resistance over TiN coating making it suitable for harder, more wear resistant materials.  (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):  TiN is Allied's original coating. Its longevity and wide use are a tribute to its success in the cutting tool market.  TiAIN has the highest heat threshold of the coatings offered, allowing for much higher drilling speeds.

This provides increased wear resistance over TiN coating making it suitable for harder, more wear resistant materials.  (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.
