KENNA UNIVERSAL – Turning Insert Grades
PVD-Coated Carbide Grades
Composition: An advanced PVD coating over a highly deformationresistant carbide substrate.
Application: KU10T is an ideal general machining grade designed for medium to finishing operations. KU10T is excellent when machining most steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous materials, and superalloys under stable conditions. KU10T is also effective when machining hardened and short-chipping materials.
Composition: An advanced PVD coating over a tough and highly wear resistant carbide substrate.
Application: KU25T is ideal for finishing to general machining of most workpiece materials. With a higher cobalt content than KU10T, this grade provides the toughness needed to handle the demands of grooving, threading and cut-off operations. KU25T performs extremely well when machining most steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous materials, and superalloys under stable CVD-Coated conditions. KU25T can also be effectively applied when machining hardened and short-chipping materials.
CVD-Coated Carbide Grades
Composition: A tough cobalt-enriched substrate with a multilayered CVD coating.
Application: KU30T is a new grade designed specifically for the job shop industry where a wide range of workpiece materials is employed. With its tough cobalt-enriched substrate, KU30T performs very effectively in roughing and medium machining operations. The post-coat grinding of the insert permits stable insert seating while the post-coat treatment resists workpiece build-up and microchipping. For roughing steels, cast irons, and stainless steels, your first choices are the –RN, -MN, and the –RP geometries. For medium machining (and finishing), the –MP geometry with a positive rake is suggested.
